Metalube Ltd
Stand.......................................... 1B60
Metalube Ltd will be exhibiting in India
after having opened an office in Mumbai
earlier this year, led by Amit Gupte. The
Metalube stand will reflect the many
changes the company has made over
the past year, with a whole new look
encompassing new barrels, brochures
and a new website.
Douglas Hunt, commercial director, said:
“Our Indian business is growing from
strength to strength and our partnerships
with Wirex Dies and Steel India Pvt Ltd -
(northern and eastern regions) and
Walson Industrial Supplies Pvt Ltd -
(western and southern regions) are
surpassing our expectations.”
“Due to customer demand Metalube is
planning to launch a new lubricant aimed
at the ‘aluminium fine wire drawing’
market place. We hope to have this
available to launch at Wire & Cable India.
This is very exciting – as the technology
brings a new dimension to the lubrication
systems used in this type of wire
drawing process.” Both Hunt and Gupte,
alongside general manager Albert
Molloy, will be on the stand.
Metalube specialises in wire and tube
drawing lubricants, working with wire,
