AXEL will have its own booth and deliver presentations at the ALIA/F&L Asia Lubricant Exhibition in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, from September 9 to 11, 2024.

Following another successful ELGI AGM with a record attendance exceeding 400 delegates, the ELGI Sustainability Technical Consortium (STC) was invited to gather for an additional day of discussion in the Spanish Capital.
The ELGI STC consists of five Task Forces focused on Communication and Regulation, Product Carbon Footprint (PCF), End User, End-of-Life, and Life Cycle Analysis. It has been established to ensure that all aspects of the grease value chain are duly considered in relation to sustainability.
AXEL’s original Nol, Sweden plant installed its brand new Kettle 55. The main purpose is to increase production capacity and flexibility in our plant! The new kettle can produce intermediate products as well as finished products/greases. Not only has our overall capacity increased, but also our capacity to produce Lithium alternatives, driven by a surge in demand for our HYCAL (Anhydrous Calcium) technology. The first batch was produced in February.
Klimatlöftet is a project led by the West Swedish Chamber of Commerce in collaboration with Företagarna Västra Götaland. The Climate Promise is a new initiative aimed at small and medium-sized companies in the Västra Götaland county that want to reduce their climate footprint and increase their green competitiveness. Participating companies adopt any number of “climate pledges” in different areas and receive free support from experts and specialists to fulfill their pledges.
We have been around for over 135 years, but nothing is stopping us from reaching out to and attracting new talent. We have swung into "TikTok" mode and are producing short videos with powerful sustainability messages and grease knowledge. These might cover the basics of grease production, testing methods, and how grease impacts our planet.
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!

This year the STLE annual meeting and exhibition was held in Nashville – Music city. The event offered more than 500 technical papers, education courses, market forums and a trade show, all related to the world of tribology and lubrication. In other words an excellent opportunity to get insight into technological advances, requirements and trends, meet peers within the industry and get information and ideas for future tasks. In spite of the lyrics from the household name Dolly Parton, the AXEL delegation, with members from the technical department and product management teams, spent considerable time to improve in addition to the stipulated 9 to 5 work hours.
From the 18th to the 21st September Innotrans, the leading international trade fair for transport technology was held in Berlin.
