Testimonials

“NLGI has allowed me to connect with people from across the grease industry and has opened doors I would have never had otherwise. The relationships I’ve built, the insights I’ve acquired, and the mentorship I’ve received through NLGI have proven to be invaluable. I am continually inspired by the limitless potential for growth and innovation that exists within the grease sector. One thing I find special about NLGI is the camaraderie among members and the shared goal of building each other up and celebrating others success, regardless of the company.”

“NLGI has been keeping our machines—and especially my knowledge—running smoothly for over 25 years. Who knew grease technology could be this exciting? The Annual Meetings are a highlight—where else do people debate grease formulations with the same intensity others reserve for fine wine tastings? Beyond the networking, NLGI’s new initiatives, like funding cutting-edge research and launching the Women in Grease initiative, have been a game-changer. From hands-on training to deep technical dives, it’s been as fun as it’s been valuable . Here’s to another 25 years of learning, laughing, and keeping everything running smoothly.”
