Lubricant consumption is increasing in Turkey. Automotive production and exports are also on the rise. Turkish industry is increasing its capacity. Turkish lubricants sector is one of the fastest growing sub- sectors in the chemical industry in Turkey's exports, compared to the previous year. From now on, we will dedicate a page to Turkish lubricants exports in our panorama section so that you can follow the latest figures.

Wind turbines are one of the leading technologies in the field of sustainable energy production, and their use is increasing day by day. At the same time, the demand for quality lubricants is rising rapidly. Because the lubrication of wind turbine gearboxes is one of the most demanding applications in the industry. Offering NUFLUXTM technology to consumers in this field, Evonik explained the benefits obtained with this technology in our article titled “Wind turbine gears benefit from NUFLUX ™ technology”.

We are in an age where we need to be more sensitive to the environment than ever before and do our best. In our world where lubricants and petroleum products are consumed widely, it is very valuable not to create or minimize waste and to adopt a circular production and consumption style. Nynas, as one of the leading companies aware of this, shared with us the importance of circularity and its efforts as a company in this direction.

Food grade lubricants are also used in one of the most sensitive application areas. As important as the use of lubricants that will not pose a risk in case of contamination at points that may come into contact with food, it is equally important to lubricate each part in the most sensitive and efficient way in order not to interrupt production.

We conveyed Klüber's experiences in this regard.

We wish for a sector where the manufacturer does not get tired of costs and procedures, where the consumer can reach the product that best meets their needs at the most affordable price, and where we always take steps to reduce and end our harm and damage to the environment.

Enjoy reading.
