We are very happy for and proud of Prof. Johan Leckner’s most recent achievement as recipient of the Clarence E. Earle Memorial Award “For an outstanding contribution to the technical literature relating to lubricating greases during the year.”
The award was announced at the NLGI 90th Annual Meeting in San Diego, California.
Congratulations Prof. Leckner!
After attending our General Management Team (GMT) meeting, Greg was warmly received at our 3 European facilities in Nol, Sweden, Heijningen, Netherlands, and Niort, France. Greg’s packed agenda included meetings with management and key personnel, plant tours, and soaking up best practices from the whole AXEL team. Go One AXEL! On May 23rd, Greg took up the role of new President for AXEL Americas and AXEL Royal.
Rail switches are just one example of many applications referred to as total loss lubrication systems meaning that, due to their open design and the exposed conditions of operation, lubricant loss to the surrounding environment is not only highly likely but inevitable.
Yet another year is closing on us – and what a year it has been! A roller coaster ride is a fitting analogy with all the turns, ups, and downs.
AXEL has long established itself as a supporter of initiatives aimed at reducing the impact on our environment through its’ focused development of a wide range of environmentally sensitive greases.
According to Websters, Proactive is defined as acting in anticipation of future problems, needs, or changes.
At AXEL, a proactive approach reinforces our commitment to employee, contractor, and visitor safety. An example of this is our Safe Work Permit Program that covers Hot Work, Confined Space, and Lockout Tagout (LOTO). Safe work permits are an essential part of keeping employees and contractors safe while performing hazardous tasks.
We are happy and grateful for our existing and new customers who trust and partner with us for their grease business needs. As we experience high demand and growth, we continue to hire qualified professionals to our AXEL Americas Team across our three facilities in Tulsa, Schertz, and Rosedale. We welcome all our new team members and wish them the best of success with their responsibilities and careers!
On the 14th & 15th September, ACIs’ 2016 European Base Oils & Lubricants Summit will be taking place at the Hilton Warsaw Hotel & Convention Centre in Warsaw, Poland.
