What significant trends or technological advancements in the past year do you believe will shape the future of the manufacturing and machining industry?
We have been noticing some long-term trends in the metalworking industry for the last few years, impacting the usage of industrial oils. Our industrial customers are always seeking ways to improve productivity, which translates to a faster machining process. In parallel, there is an increase in usage of special alloys, likewise the continuous extension of aluminium. This is a direct consequence of the lightweight program initiated within several industries, particularly the automotive industry.
Finally, we note more and more interest in environmental, safety, and sustainability, and all major industries are getting interested in metalworking fluids, which are safer to use and contribute to carbon footprint reduction. These working conditions require more cooling and lubrication properties; therefore, the choice of premium metal working fluids is crucial.
At Motultech, thanks to our comprehensive and innovative product range, we answer these requests and help our customers overcome their productivity and sustainability challenges.
