of the business with over 20 per cent of its
workforce dedicated to science.
The Metalube team of chemists is
committed to solving the toughest
technical challenges – always striving

customers.
The company takes pride in formulating
all of its own lubricants and greases

equipped for both quality control and
research and development.
Metalube is a winner of two Queen’s
Awards for Enterprise: the rst for
International Trade in 2013, and the
second for Innovation in 2014, when the
company invented a new synthetic grease,
‘OCG 6000’, which protects overhead
electrical conductors.
Its Manchester factory was also recognised
in 2015 for its commitment to sustainable
business practices and awarded the ISO
14001 certi cation.
Looking ahead, commercial director
Douglas Hunt said: “We have seen
excellent growth in 2015 but there are
global challenges predicted for 2016,
particularly in China.
″
However, the company still expects to
increase sales and market share during the
forthcoming nancial year.
″
Our priority is for our products to out-strip
our competitors ensuring that customers
who require quality will always be assured
of excellence if they buy fromMetalube.”

Miltec UV, a manufacturer of both arc

featuring the release of the new Xtrema
ECO UV system. The patented Xtrema
ECO is claimed to be the rst signi cant
UV curing advancement in over 30 years
and is designed speci cally for the optical
bre, wire, colouring and FRP coating
markets.
Optical bre manufacturers continually
pursue new ways to increase line speeds
and e ciency while reducing operating
costs, and Xtrema ECO is one solution.
Miltec has partnered with industry leaders
to gain advancements in optical bre UV
solutions.
Its optics provide more UV output
concentrated at the bre. The Xtrema ECO
system is designed to provide faster line
speeds and easy maintenance, reducing
line downtime. With signi cant energy
and operating savings, eg increased draw
tower production speeds, the result is an
attractive return on investment for new
lines, or replacing existing equipment.

perfect platform and audience for the
introduction of our ground-breaking new
technology,” said Miltec president Bob
