Michael Gouldsmith, Director, Thermaltronics

Innovation and collaboration are some of our key values here at Electrolube, and during 2018, we have actively been offering application solutions to record numbers of customers. This year our manufacturing sites in China and India have seen some staggering increases and healthy growth has been achieved at our global sites.

Looking ahead to 2019, we will continue to invest in R&D to leverage production of next generation products, a process that is already demonstrating successful results following our launch of the innovative coating system, the 2K series. This is absolutely a breakthrough product for Electrolube, guaranteeing the highest levels of performance in the harshest environments.

The 2K850 is a fast UV cure coating, providing a complete cure within 24 hours, which is a major achievement compared to other UV cure coatings on the market, which require in excess of one week to cure. The huge benefits to work in progress and inventory are clear to see.

The strong market for Automotive and LED applications has undoubtedly played a part in our rapid growth but far from resting on our laurels, we are looking forward to further growth in 2019. We will continue to work in partnership with global manufacturers, focus on solving customer issues and provide expert guidance to help improve processes, productivity and ultimately the quality and reliability of customer products. With a clear vision for the future and strong demand for our products from customers worldwide, Electrolube has never been stronger.
