\n <\/span>\n OUR ORIGINS<\/span>Expertise serving the glass industry<\/span>LUBEN was founded with a clear mission: to bring technical expertise and specialist knowledge to the glass industry. The company began by providing consultancy on the use of chemical products in glassmaking, soon expanding its activities to include lubricants and spare parts for forming machines. From the very beginning, the goal has remained the same: to understand each customer\u2019s needs and provide practical, reliable and tailor-made solutions.<\/span> <\/span>\n <\/p>\n \n \"\"\/\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n

\n <\/span>\n OUR EVOLUTION<\/span>
From consultancy to manufacturing expertise<\/span>
The ambition to provide an increasingly comprehensive service led LUBEN to expand its technical expertise and manufacturing capabilities. The partnership with OMCA, a company specialising in the design and manufacture of high-precision mechanical components, machinery and plants, marked the beginning of a strategic collaboration. The combination of glass process expertise, engineering and manufacturing capabilities opened a new phase of growth.<\/span> <\/span>\n <\/p>\n \n \"\"\/\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n

\n <\/span>\n RESEARCH & INNOVATION<\/span>
Turning ideas into technology<\/span>
The partnership strengthened research and development activities, leading to the creation of numerous innovative solutions, some of which are patent-protected. New mechanisms, equipment and machinery have been developed in response to the real needs of glass manufacturers. Among these, ILS technology, developed for the lubrication of mechanisms and forming machines, represents one of the most significant milestones in this innovation journey.<\/span> <\/span>\n <\/p>\n \n \"\"\/\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n
