Supporting Industry-Wide Sustainability Efforts
Interlub’s commitment to decarbonization is demonstrated not only through our innovative products but also in our partnerships with steel manufacturers across Latin America.
At Alacero Summit 2024, our representatives will engage with leaders and decision-makers to explore how Productivity Boosting Lubricants can contribute to regional sustainability targets and advance low-emission steel production.
