2017 PQIA Lubricant Quality Summit

The Petroleum Quality Institute of America is “Taking it to the Streets” with its first regional Lubricant Quality Summit.

The 2017 PQIA Lubricant Quality Summit is the first in a series of regional lubricant quality conferences presented by PQIA. The first Summit is on September 14, 2017 and hosted by Lubrizol at its corporate office in Wickliffe, OH. The Summit will address quality issues and concerns, specifications, trends, and other topics important to lubricant manufacturers, distributors, installers, and others in the lubricant value chain.

The event kicks-off with pre-Summit evening reception on September 13th to help get attendees in a quality state of mind and network with lubricant manufacturers and distributors, additive suppliers, and others in the lubricant business. Pre-summit activities on the 13th also include the Lubrizol Learning Center Experience and Tours of Lubrizol's Facility. The learning center experience provides attendees with an opportunity to learn about lubricant additive technology and visually experience mechanical systems that require lubrication, among others.

This is a must-attend event for those interested in ensuring the quality and integrity of lubricants in the marketplace and gaining information and insights on product quality, specifications, labeling and how to sell quality lubricants.

Overview

The theme of the PQIA Lubricant Quality Summit is “Taking it to the Streets” and that’s just what PQIA is doing. Although we have made significant progress in cleaning up the lubricants market, there is still work to be done to protect consumers from off-spec products and help to ensure a level playing field.

So now is the time to take the message to the streets and get everyone onboard to learn how we as an industry can achieve more to help assure the quality and integrity of lubricants in the marketplace.

Quality improves when we work together to learn about the issues and exchange ideas to help find and implement solutions.

Agenda

The Summit kicks-off with a pre-Summit evening reception to help get attendees in a quality state of mind and to network with others in the business.

The following day includes informative presentations by speakers from Lubrizol, Afton, PQIA, and Maura Schreier-Fleming, keynote speaker. They will provide insights and information on the state of the lubricants business, Passenger Car Motor Oil, Automatic Transmission Fluid, Heavy Duty Engine Oil, How to Sell on Quality, and other quality related topics. In addition there will be a panel discussion where attendees will have the opportunity to voice concerns and work with others in the industry to explore solutions.
