The ELGI was established in 1989 and is an independent, self-governing institute, financed by members. It is one of a group of scientific and technical institutes active in the field of tribology dealing with lubricating greases and associate products. It is the intention of the Institute to become involved in all aspects of this product group, particularly those concerning technical, economic, ecological and legislative positions in Europe.
The ELGI has a wide membership based in over 25 countries. Each year its Annual Conference is held in a different European City. We will host our 28th AGM 16th -19th April 2016 at the Hilton Molino Stucky - Venice Italy.
The ELGI takes an active part in the annual worldwide Grease Production Survey. The information gathered during this exercise can prove invaluable to many organisations in their planning and marketing functions.
We publish a quarterly digital Eurogrease Magazine. This publication contains membership news, advertisements, and technical papers.
