Dow Corning’s Manfred Jungk, Ph.D., Representing Molykote® Brand Specialty Lubricants at 2015 ELGI Annual General Meeting
Midland, MI (PRWEB) March 25, 2015 -- Recognizing the value of professional tribology societies and associations, Dow Corning Corporation – one of five global leaders in specialty lubrication technologies, with the extensive range of Molykote® brand trusted lubrication solutions – will have Manfred Jungk, Ph.D., in attendance at the 27th ELGI Annual General Meeting. The event will take place April 18 through 21 at the Hilton Diagonal Mar in Barcelona, Spain.
“Dow Corning actively supports the European Lubricating Grease Institute (ELGI), as well as the National Lubricating Grease Institute (NLGI) in the U.S.,” said Jungk, an associate industry scientist for Dow Corning in Wiesbaden, Germany.
“Professional institutes and industry associations like ELGI play important roles in the advancement of tribology as a science and can have significant impacts on the discovery and development of newer, more effective lubrication technologies.”
Well-known in the industry for his specialty lubrication expertise, Jungk has been an ELGI member for many years and currently serves on the ELGI Board of Directors. In addition, he is active in STLE (Society of Tribologists and Lubrication Engineers), TAE Esslingen, and GfT (German Tribological Society). Jungk is committed to investing in growing the profession of tribology in general and, more specifically, to applying the company’s involvement in industry associations for the benefit of Dow Corning’s Molykote brand customers.
In addition to Jungk, Dow Corning will be represented at the ELGI meeting by Scientist Emeritus Dave Como, who serves as vice president of NLGI’s national chapter. Standing in for NLGI’s president, Como will deliver the NLGI Annual Update during the meeting’s opening session.
Dow Corning is encouraging lubrication professionals to attend the ELGI meeting and expand their knowledge of current and emerging lubrication technologies. Jungk said he looks forward to meeting and interacting with attendees at the ELGI event.
