Telstra Business Awards Finalist 2019
International Lubricant Distributors (ILD) was announced as a Finalist in the prestigious 2019 Telstra Business Awards in the Medium and Making Waves category in Western Australia.
The ILD / Sinopec Premium Industrial Lubricants offer is well-known in the Australian industrial market. The ILD team was very excited to receive recognition for ten years of hard work by being named as finalists in the Telstra Business Awards.
The Australian market for industrial lubricants is highly competitive with more than 700 lubricant-related businesses in Australia (IBIS World May 2019). The market is dominated by four global major suppliers with an estimated 90% of combined market share. However, the ILD Sinopec offer has managed to successfully compete and grow in the market by behaving differently, diversifying and leading the market in its service offering.
ILD’s Chief Operation Officer, Robert Boylan commented that “ILD has been doing things differently from the traditional lubricants businesses since we commenced. We have led the market by attaining ISO 9001 Quality Management System accreditation, developing a cloud-based real-time operating system and being the only lubricants company to achieve Carbon Neutral status for the whole business. Innovation has led our business offer and we intend to remain in front of the market to give our customers the best and most trusted offer in the market.
ILD is committed to changing the landscape of Australian lubricants industry, and we will continue to innovate and differentiate our offer for the benefit of our customers and allies. Being named as a Finalist in 2019’s Telstra Business Awards is a welcome recognition that our approach is working.”
