CUP OR BOWL – EVONIK DELIVERS THE BIG WIN AT THE 73RD ANNUAL STLE MEETING

Evonik will exhibit at the STLE Annual Meeting & Exhibition – stand #103, May 20-24, 2018 in Minneapolis, Minnesota – offering an inviting and interactive exhibit stand, innovative product ideas and practical technical presentations.

“Our stand this year focuses on champions – in business and on the field. With the recent excitement of the Super Bowl that was held in Minneapolis, plus the impending World Cup with Germany as reigning champions, it just made sense,” said President of Evonik Oil Additives USA, Inc., Doug Placek. “Both games take strategy and expertise to win –just as the Oil Additives Team’s expertise is available to support your business strategy, a resource we’ll once again demonstrate this May.”

Evonik’s Oil Additives specialists will be at the stand to discuss partnering with attendees to create tailor-made solutions with technology brands DRIVON™, DYNAVIS® and NUFLUX™, and well-known PPDs - demonstrating the promise of flow efficiency in automotive and industrial lubricants, hydraulic fluids, fuels and refinery processing.

While visiting the stand, attendees can also take part in two activities – a competition for the game of football and foosball – with the chance to win fun prizes and network with other industry members and, of course, the Oil Additives specialists at Evonik.

Additionally, Technical and Commercial Marketing Forum presentations from Evonik will be presented at this year’s STLE Annual Conference, including:
