Awards
The International Council for Machinery Lubrication (ICML) Awards have become a synonym of world-class oil analysis and machinery lubrication programs, honoring prime examples in the industry which have received much-deserved recognition for their pioneering efforts. The awards recognize innovation in the areas of oil analysis and machinery lubrication and were designed to motivate companies to improve machine reliability and maintenance quality through development, implementation and management of best-in-class oil analysis and machinery lubrication programs. ICML's focus 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. In the same manner that the ICML is raising the bar in the area of skill-based certification, so it will do with the Gill and Battle Awards, by recognizing role models for benchmarking and setting performance standards by the oil analysis and lubrication community.
