WELCOME TO OUR EUROPEAN INNOVATION HUB.

Hello,

I’m Daniel Pandza, Global Director for Innovation Partnerships at Interlub. I’m glad you’ve landed here—because this space was designed with a simple intention: to open doors.

At Interlub, we’ve spent the last four decades developing high-performance lubricants for critical applications in industries like steel, mining, food processing, and container glass. But in a world that’s changing faster than ever, we know that innovation can’t happen in isolation. It takes partnerships. It takes shared curiosity. And it takes being present—where decisions are made, where standards are set, and where new ideas can take root.

That’s why we've launched our new innovation hub in Europe. This website will open the door to collaborators, OEMs, researchers, and technology providers who, like us, believe that smarter maintenance, deeper insights, and bold ideas can shape the future of industrial reliability.

So, whether you're looking to:

  • explore how our specialty lubricants can boost productivity and sustainability of our shared customers,
  • co-design a solution tailored to your equipment,
  • or simply connect and exchange ideas…

You're in the right place.

I invite you to explore the site, discover what we’re building across Latin America and Europe, and reach out.

Let’s schedule a meeting—virtually or in person. If you’re in Europe, we’d love to welcome you to our growing team and network here.

Because the best partnerships don’t start with a pitch. They start with a conversation.

Warm regards,

Daniel Pandza Global Director for Innovation Partnerships Interlub Group

What does it take to innovate in a legacy industry?

Driving innovation in family enterprises — and in mature industrial sectors — is not for the faint of heart. But at Interlub, it’s in our DNA.

Over the years, our culture of experimentation, technical rigor, and cross-functional collaboration has sparked hundreds of product breakthroughs and earned national recognition from the President of Mexico for scientific innovation, quality, and export excellence.

Needles to say, every year, we receive dozens of inquiries from from Silicon Valley icons to mexican pioneers to Start-ups to leading business schools who want to learn how we do it — and we’re happy to share, exchange, learn and dare our community to dare to be uncommon.

👉 Curious about how we do it?
