OATS 30th Anniversary logoThe world is a very different place from 30 years ago!  The rise of the internet, satellite technology and the Chinese economy have all had a profound impact on global development.

The lubricants industry, too, has undergone significant change driven, in part, by emissions controls and legislation aimed at reducing pollution, enhancing engine and mechanical performance, and increasing lubricant longevity.

In this White Paper, OATS Chairman Sebastian Crawshaw, examines some of the key industry and global milestones since OATS' foundation in 1984 and makes some predictions for the next thirty years.
