From 17 to 21 May, the Lumar Química team participated in the STLE Annual Meeting & Exhibition 2026, held in New Orleans, one of the leading international events dedicated to lubrication, tribology and industrial maintenance.
Attending this event is part of our commitment to staying close to the latest innovations in the industry, strengthening relationships with our international partners and continuing to identify solutions that bring value to our customers.
A Showcase of the Trends Shaping the Future of the Industry
Every year, STLE brings together lubricant manufacturers, additive producers, technology developers, research centres and maintenance professionals from around the world.
During the conference, we had the opportunity to gain first-hand insight into the key trends transforming the market:
- New generations of high-performance additives.
- Solutions focused on improving energy efficiency.
- Advances in lubricants for increasingly demanding applications.
- The development of products with a lower environmental impact.
- The evolution of international regulations and technical requirements.
Being present at these forums allows us to anticipate changes and identify opportunities that can later be translated into formulations and projects for our customers.
Sharing Knowledge with the International Community
One of the most valuable aspects of the event was the opportunity to exchange experiences with professionals from different markets and areas of expertise.
The conversations held during these days enabled us to gain a deeper understanding of the current challenges facing the industry, discover new technical perspectives and broaden our view of the global evolution of the lubricants sector.
The combination of technical sessions, exhibitions and professional networking makes STLE a unique opportunity to continue learning and stay up to date in an environment of constant transformation.
Strengthening Relationships and Creating New Opportunities
Lumar Química’s presence at Stand 706 also allowed us to welcome customers, suppliers and partners from different countries, creating highly enriching exchanges from both technical and commercial perspectives.
These events provide an excellent opportunity to strengthen existing relationships, explore new avenues for collaboration and continue building a strong international network within the lubricants industry.
Moving Forward
We return from New Orleans with new ideas, contacts and knowledge that reinforce our vision for the future.
At Lumar Química, we believe that participating in the industry’s leading international events is essential to continue growing, expanding our understanding of the market and providing our customers with access to innovative, reliable solutions tailored to the needs of an ever-evolving industry.
We would like to thank everyone who visited our stand and spent time with our team during the event.
We remain committed to bringing the best chemical solutions and the most trusted technology partners to the lubricants industry.
