Sicelub Lubritech at the 2024 Argentine Tribology Conference

On November 11 and 12, our company Lubritech Argentina actively participated in the Argentine Tribology Conference, organized by the Argentine Association of Tribology (AAT), an institution dedicated to promoting and disseminating tribology knowledge in the country.

This year’s event was particularly meaningful for our Group, as the General Manager of Sicelub Lubritech was elected President of the AAT for the 2025–2026 term, assuming the responsibility of continuing to strengthen this discipline, which is essential for industry.

Throughout the two days, we engaged with the leading tribology professionals in Argentina, sharing experiences, technological approaches, and current challenges related to lubrication, wear, friction, and rotating equipment reliability.

At the closing session, the Association’s President emphasized a powerful message:

Tribology is not only strategic for industry, but for an entire Nation.
International technical studies show that proper application of this science can generate savings equivalent to 1% of a country’s GDP, through reduced failures, improved energy efficiency, optimized maintenance, and extended asset life.

At Sicelub Lubritech, we reaffirm our commitment to advancing Tribology as a strategic tool for reliability, efficiency, and industrial competitiveness in Argentina and across the region.

Technician Appreciation Week – A recognition that crosses borders

At Sicelub Lubritech, we are pleased to share a very special video prepared by our RelaDyne team, aimed at celebrating and recognizing all our technicians across our different sites.

During this appreciation week, a small token of gratitude was offered: official RelaDyne apparel and bottles were delivered to each technician, who every day represents our values with commitment, professionalism, and technical excellence.

And at Sicelub, we kept the momentum going.
We were proud to bring this recognition to our technical teams in Argentina, Brazil, Spain, and Peru, reinforcing how proud we are of the work they deliver in every project, every plant, and every critical intervention.

This post is once again a sincere expression of our appreciation for their ongoing dedication.

In the video you will hear messages from our CEO, the RelaDyne Management in the United States, and our General Manager for the Sicelub Lubritech Group, along with some photos from the celebration.

Thank you to all our technicians for being the driving force behind excellence in everything we do!
