Customers will benefit - Innovation award goes to Klüber Lubrication Austria

In the Innovation Competition 2005 of the Austrian state of Salzburg, Klüber Lubrication Austria took part with two projects: the "Dry Lub System", a powder application technology for pressure diecasting applications, and "perma PRO", a 'smart' lubrication systems in the sector of small to medium-sized companies, i.e. those with between 20 to 250 staff.

^{* In 2004/2005, the release agents business was transferred to Chem-Trend, a 'sister' company of Klüber Lubrication within Freudenberg Chemical Specialties KG. However, since the project had been developed to a decisive proportion and completed by Klüber Lubrication Austria, the prize was awarded to the Klüber company.}
