ABN Continues ILMA Membership in 2025
In 2025, we’ll continue as proud members of the Independent Lubricant Manufacturers Association (ILMA). Alongside memberships with UKLA/UEIL (UK Lubricants Association and Union of the European Lubricants Industry), our ongoing partnership with ILMA highlights our deep connection to the ever-evolving lubricants market.
With a busy year ahead, packed with sponsorships, industry-leading events, and meaningful conversations, we’re more excited than ever about what lies ahead for the world of lubricants in 2025!
Why ILMA Membership Matters to ABN Resource
ILMA is a cornerstone of the lubricants industry. Since 1948, ILMA has been the voice of independent lubricant manufacturers, representing some of the most innovative and forward-thinking businesses globally. For ABN Resource, being part of this incredible network means more than having a seat at the table. It’s about actively contributing to the conversations that define the future of lubricants.
Through our ILMA membership, we gain access to new insights, market trends, and regulatory updates, all of which are vital to our mission of connecting the lubricants industry with top talent. Whether it’s navigating bio-lubricants’ growing demand, tackling new environmental regulations, or exploring the leap toward digitalisation, our connection with ILMA ensures we stay ahead of the curve.
