Past event: European Base Oils & Lubricants interactive Summit

Following 8 highly successful years of the European Base Oils & Lubricants Summit series we have learned a great deal from the industry about the direction our event needs to move in to provide you with an even more valuable experience than before. This is why we can now bring you the new and enhanced 2017 European Base Oils & Lubricants interactive Summit


This highly anticipated summit will feature:

  • 240+ attendees and 15+ exhibitors
  • Parallel Streams dedicated to Industrial lubricants, Automotive Lubricants, Global Industry Perspective and Bio-Based Lubricants allowing delegates to "lean in" and have in-depth discussions with like-minded peers
  • Structured networking activities: meet & greet, blackout bingo, speed networking, carpet croquet, drinks reception, networking dinner, social lotto and business card contest
  • Interactive format with on-stage interviews, panel Q&A, in-conversation and lunch round tables. The summit will ensure that delegates receive content in a way that is engaging and interactive, that also allows for everyone to be part of the wider conversation


New Networking Oppurtunities

Exclusive Site Visit: Q8 Oils State-Of-The-Art Blending Plant in Antwerp (Fully Booked)

Started in 2007, the project was carried out over a series of phases. The first step was to install new loading arms at the jetty, followed by the construction of a new filling hall and base oil tank farm comprising 24 stock tanks. Later phases introduced a new empty pack warehouse, blending installations and related bulk storage.

The project was completed with the opening of a new additives warehouse in 2016.

Throughout the nine years there was no interruption to production and the project was completed within the projected time.

The new blending plant has the capacity to produce 125m litres each year and can easily be upgraded to double this output. Around 700 different formulations are currently produced.

In addition to the Antwerp blending plant, Q8Oils also has a blending facility in Castellar Guidobono, east of Turin in Italy, which specialises in blending metalworking products.

There is no extra charge to join the site visit, although places are limited and allocated to the conference delegates on first come first served basis. We strongly suggest to reserve your site visit space at time of booking to avoid disappointment.
