A thriving lubricants industry means a thriving American economy! ILMA (the Independent Lubricant Manufacturers Association) is the voice of independent businesses who formulate lubricants and metalworking fluids to improve performance and increase efficiency. Our members make specialized lubricants for everything from backhoes to bone screws. Our products keep planes in the air; cars on the road; and the machines in businesses, households and hospitals running efficiently. Without lubricants and metalworking fluids, American businesses and manufacturing would grind to a halt. In an accelerating global market with little concern for proprietary boundaries, ILMA’s singular voice for independent innovation and competition has never been more important!
