Now that you have put so much effort into implementing best practices for lubrication or oil analysis at your facility, it is time to get the recognition you and your team deserve.
The International Council for Machinery Lubrication (ICML) wants to help you tell the world your story so your success can be celebrated and known beyond the realm of your facility. The John R. Battle and Augustus H. Gill awards were developed to benchmark industry by recognizing companies for their use of world-class best practices in lubrication and oil analysis programs for improved machine reliability. The focus of the awards is not just to identify award recipients but to encourage performance of excellence and create a means to share best practices among user organizations on a global scale.

The ICML awards criteria have become a roadmap for companies in their quest for excellence in their programs. The criteria were designed to evaluate areas that have proven to have great impact in the increased reliability of machinery where lubrication and oil analysis practices are concerned.
ICML’s awards committee is comprised of top-level professionals from a variety of industries with vast experience in the development of world-class programs. These volunteers, who can mentor future award winners, are looking to give back to industry by identifying programs and teams of individuals at the sites. The award recipient programs provide much needed positive examples and encouragement for practitioners embarking on the journey toward better management of lubricated assets.
