The Indian lubricants market was valued at over 2,610 kilotons in 2020, and it is expected to grow at a CAGR of more than 1.5 percent over the forecast period (2021-2026). Lubrication is a critical component in the efficiency and life expectancy of any rotating equipment and has been witnessing a surge in demand owing to growth in end-use industries, such as automotive, construction, oil & gas, and more. Significantly, one of the prominent Full Value Chain providers in the realm of Lubrication Systems made in India, in line with the current Government scheme of Atma Nirbhar Bharat is Cenlub Systems.
The key emphasis of Cenlub Systems, as in the past, is on quality, reliability, delivery, and innovation.

Cenlub Systems is a process-& system-oriented firm that addresses projects with a system-driven approach. The firm adopts strategies to assist major players in meeting their KPIs – Boost uptime and assure safety with viable business models and dependable solutions.

Oil circulation systems are commonly employed in the paper industry for this purpose, but are difficult to maintain, expensive, and prone to contamination, resulting in premature bearing failure.
It also generates spills, which causes housekeeping concerns. Perfectly understanding the application and user requirement, Cenlub Systems suggested the user to opt for a dual-line grease lubrication system instead.
