Each year, the same week in February is firmly etched into the base oils and finished lubricants markets' calendars. A week that provides the industry with their most important global platform to conduct their internal and external business meetings, as well as gather critical information on the market trends and trade dynamics that will help shape their commercial strategies for the year ahead.
