ECO FRIENDLY INDUSTRIAL LUBRICANTS

Environmentally sustainable practices are a natural extension of lean operational philosophies and techniques. Today’s successful metal forming companies need to partner with suppliers who focus on tangible business improvement and the financial outcome of their client. But they must also not lose sight of the environmental impact their product may also have, thus supporting both a lean and green value stream. This is how IRMCO defines “LeanGreen metal forming”. Being the first in industry to actually use such a phrase and ultimately being awarded the trademark, it’s what we do better than anyone else in our industry. Eliminating more than 10 million gallons of oil based forming fluids does not happen by accident. It takes careful discipline and attention to detail. It takes a team of dedicated associates who are focused on the “total cost” picture and eliminating waste of all kinds. In our case it means not just focusing on the lubricant use – but what that lubricant can and cannot do to the cost of secondary operations. What’s great about all this is that green technology can, in fact, be the highest performing, cost effective and economic value added option out there. Think of us as part Tribologist, part Chemical Engineer and part Accountant. Not your average lubricant company.
