The team conducts research and develops innovative lubrication systems, analyzes fuels, lubricants, and technical fluids, and studies the tribological properties of materials.
We combine scientific research, laboratory testing, and practical engineering to enhance machinery reliability, improve resource efficiency, and promote environmental safety.
The global industry is shifting toward solutions that reduce energy loss, extend component life, and minimize emissions. Tribology is central to this transition — optimizing friction, wear, and lubrication provides both economic and environmental benefits. For Ukraine, it also means alignment with EU standards and integration into global supply chains.
European Standards and Sustainability
Ukraine’s path toward the EU requires implementing systems that meet safety, efficiency, and sustainability standards. This drives demand for innovative lubricants and technical fluids certified according to EN standards.
Global Demand for Tribological Research
The importance of tribology — the science of friction, wear, and lubrication — is growing globally. High-durability systems reduce energy consumption and extend machine lifespan, directly supporting the objectives of the green economy.
Opportunities for Collaboration
With our scientific schools and in-house laboratories, we are able to meet the needs of European and international companies. This creates opportunities for foreign investment and integration of Ukrainian expertise into global supply chains.
