Pre-Conference Seminar
 

Pre-Conference Seminar: Wednesday 15 March 2023

More work needs to be done to make global base oils and lubricants supply chains fit for purpose. But what does that mean for the Asian region? How can the industry come together to build supply chains fit for an uncertain future in Asia, one that demonstrates a greater resilience against unexpected crisis across the continent?

This year’s seminar, taking place ahead of the conference, focuses on strengthening supply chain operations and optimising logistical efficiencies. Join industry experts to hear more about how diversification can contribute to a resilient supply chain, insights into the status of transport logistics, how digital solutions can transform your operations, as well as the opportunity decarbonisation presents across supply chains.
