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.
