In the mining industry, lubricants are often seen as just a commodity, a necessary but unglamorous aspect of your maintenance program. Decisions often revolve around the price of the product – but the impact lubricants have on overall operations can be transformative and create real value for businesses. As Peter Gunther, Regional Sales Manager, shared at MINExpo ‘24, a smart lubricant program can lower fuel costs, reduce maintenance needs, and improve overall productivity. “A strategic partnership with lubricant providers can transform operations across the entire value chain,” Pete says. “Lubricants impact fuel consumption, maintenance costs, and sustainability—it’s not just about price.” The future of mining is smarter, more efficient, and focused on paving the way for sustainability – and it starts with making the right choices in lubrication.
