Annie and Guy return from the ILMA Annual Meeting 2025 with renewed insight into the challenges and opportunities shaping the future of the lubricants industry.
Annie Lindsell and Guy Harris were proud to represent Lubricant Expo & The Bearing Show North America, connecting with peers, partners, and thought leaders across the value chain. The programme offered outstanding content, and two sessions in particular stood out:
🟢 LubeTrends Live: “The Road Ahead – Commercial Vehicle Electrification Through 2040”
Sponsored by Chevron Oronite, this panel explored the long-term implications of electrification on commercial fleets and lubricant strategies. With expert contributions from Annie Jarquin (Kline & Co.), Kaustav Sinha (Chevron Oronite), and Jim Carroll (Schaeffer Manufacturing), it offered valuable data and strategic insight for navigating the decade ahead.
🟢 “Built to Evolve: Honoring Our Industry, Shaping What’s Next” (Plated Lunch Session)
Delivered by Brenna Huovie, Vice President of Additives – Americas at The Lubrizol Corporation, this keynote reflected on our industry’s legacy and the critical need for evolution. From AI and digital disruption to decarbonisation and shifting customer expectations, the message was clear: embracing reinvention is essential to securing the future of lubrication.
We’re grateful to ILMA, the speakers, and sponsors for such a dynamic and thought-provoking event and to everyone Annie and Guy had the pleasure of meeting.
