Europe’s most essential convention on industrial lubricants will have fun its tenth anniversary on the Euskalduna Conference Centre in Bilbao.
On Wednesday and Thursday of this week, 200 professionals from Europe, Asia and America will attend this new version of LUBMAT, a number one worldwide biennial occasion specialising in lubricants, tribology and manufacturing gear monitoring.
For 2 consecutive days, corporations, producers, expertise centres and researchers will share the sector’s most up-to-date scientific and technological improvements to deal with challenges resembling sustainability, digitisation and industrial effectivity. The discussion board is co-organised by the Tekniker expertise centre, the Jost Institute for Tribotechnology of the UK, Bureau Veritas and ATTEN2.
At the moment rated as one in all Europe’s most important assembly factors for the lubrication trade and R&D, LUBMAT 2026 options an in depth scientific and technical programme targeted on areas resembling superior lubricants, friction and put on discount, condition-based upkeep, on-line gear monitoring, sensible sensors, AI utilized to industrial upkeep and the event of options which might be safer and extra sustainable.
Javier Barriga, Tekniker’s Director of Tribology and Supplies and a member of the organising committee explains that “lubricants play a key position in sectors resembling power, automotive, aeronautics, superior manufacturing and heavy responsibility industries as they will cut back friction, minimise put on and lengthen the life cycles of business gear”.
It’s on this context, as talked about by the skilled from the expertise centre, the place applied sciences such because the evaluation of lubricants, sensoring and predictive upkeep have gotten more and more related to enhance industrial competitiveness and advance in direction of manufacturing fashions which might be extra environment friendly and sustainable.
Throughout LUBMAT, Tekniker, as an example, will current an revolutionary methodology used to judge the effectivity of lubricants for gearboxes in addition to the tribological characterisation of lubricants with an electrical present move, a key innovation to affect mobility.
Cooperation alternatives
Along with its technical and scientific contents, LUBMAT additionally provides an appropriate area to spice up worldwide collaboration, foster the change of experiences and generate new cooperation alternatives between the trade and the analysis group.
Due to this new two-day version, Bilbao will as soon as once more develop into one in all Europe’s most important epicentres of information and innovation utilized to industrial upkeep and superior lubricants.

Extra about LUBMAT
LUBMAT was born in 2006 as a joint initiative supported by Tekniker and the Jost Institute for Tribotechnology of the UK when each organisations noticed the necessity to arrange a discussion board particularly geared in direction of industrial lubrication purposes, tribology and upkeep, areas that till then had rarely been addressed at specialised worldwide scientific conventions.
Since its inception, the goal of the occasion was to deliver superior analysis nearer to the actual wants of the economic sector while concurrently intensifying the change of information between corporations, universities, producers, industrial operators and expertise centres.
Over time, the conference has not solely grown with regard to attendance figures and worldwide projection, however now options new co-organiser companions resembling Bureau Veritas, by its division specialised in lubrication administration, and ATTEN2, an organization specialising within the improvement of sensors used to watch lubricants when in use.
Extra about Tekniker
Tekniker boosts the event of high-added worth industrial processes by making use of applied sciences in areas resembling superior manufacturing, surfaces, supplies and digitisation.
As a number one expertise centre, it has made obtainable to the economic material its specialised data, its stable technical capabilities and state-of-the-art amenities to help industrial sectors of their transformation processes from the second an concept is conceived till it’s applied as an actual and highly effective answer.
Its mission is to assist additional financial progress and wellbeing by way of R&D&I by sustainably enhancing the competitiveness of corporations to profit society at massive. Tekniker varieties a part of the Basque Analysis and Know-how Alliance (BRTA), FEDIT and EARTO.
