1 WHO? WHAT? WHY? An Introduction

2 What makes LE unique No other brand of petroleum lubricating oil whatsoever, regardless of price, will be found superior in condition to LE products at the end of any given period of use. Since 1951, Lubrication Engineers has strived to build the finest lubricants available, with the goal of providing reliability solutions to our customers, thereby giving them the opportunity to increase their profits.

3 What makes LE unique Leaders in Lubricants since 1951 Manufacturing & technology center located in Wichita, Kansas Technical & sales support in Forth Worth, Texas Three warehouse facilities to serve the U.S. market Worldwide distribution capability serving 55 countries Certified staff (MLT-1, CLS, MLA, CLGS) ISO 9001:2000 certified

4 What makes LE unique Single Source for Lubricants & Reliability Products Enhanced Lubricants Storage & Handling Contamination Control AMS Filtration Filtration solutions Des-Case Corporation Contamination control Esco Products Oil sight glasses Lubrication Engineers Technologically advanced industrial & automotive lubricants Check Fluid Oil sampling valves LEAP LE analysis program Oil Analysis Fluid Defense Systems Lubricant handling & storage The IFH Group Fluid handling systems Tote-A-Lube Lubricant storage Lubricant Application VIPER Wire Rope Lubricator Wire rope lubrication Lubrication Technologies Automatic lube systems Perma Automatic lubricators Zeeline Clear Grease Guns LiquidDynamics Lubrication application Education & Training Noria Consulting & education services Implementation & Support Lubrication Engineers Customer support, education & training services

5 What makes LE unique Enhanced Lubricants Mineral, Synthetic, H1 Premium base stock with excellent volatility Best for application Lubricant Synergistically improves oil components Protects metal surfaces Reduces friction and decreases wear Does not build up on metal surfaces Batch process; 100% product evaluation Quality control on all raw materials Dedicated lines; zero cross-contamination 100% QC inspection

6 What makes LE unique Where Enhanced Lubricants & Lubrication Reliability Come Together Lubricant Reliability Our philosophy is to help customers keep their lubricant dry, clean and contaminantfree. By doing so, we can help protect your valuable equipment assets and keep the machinery running. Armed with industry experts and a complete portfolio of lubricant reliability solutions, we can offer you a comprehensive program. Enhanced Lubricants Premium lubricants for industrial customers Robust backbone technology and proprietary additives get the job done. Our goal is to reduce your lubricant footprint. Benefits of a Comprehensive Program Increases uptime Lengthens gear life Lowers lubricant consumption Reduces maintenance

7 ALMASOL CORPORATION R&D additive company subsidiary of LE Inc exclusive & unique additives: DUOLEC Reduces friction, heat & wear ALMASOL Reduces friction, heat & wear MONOLEC Reduces friction, heat & wear QUINPLEX L.E. is the only lubricant manufacturer that is supplied with additives by the ALMASOL Corporation

8 Established 1973 Distributors in over 55 countries Growing all the time Hungary, Czech Republic, Brazil, El Salvador & Jordan recent additions 20% year on year growth Export Sales Managers in Asia, Central Europe & Latin/ South America Technical, sales & marketing support, seminars

9 BASIC L.E. PHILOSOPHY & CONCEPT MAIN OBJECTIVE: To help L.E. customers increase $ profits as a direct result of Lower maintenance & operating costs Improved productivity (through the consistent use of LE lubricants)

10 BASIC L.E. PHILOSOPHY & CONCEPT How does L.E. achieve these results?: LOWER MAINTENANCE COSTS : Less wear, longer equipment life Less spare parts required & stock inventory Less labour overtime due to unscheduled maintenance Pre-planned lubrication maintenance schedules/surveys

11 BASIC L.E. PHILOSOPHY & CONCEPT How Does L.E. Achieve These Results?: LOWER OPERATING COSTS : Less energy consumption due to less friction Less lubricant & fuel consumption Consolidated lubricants inventory

12 BASIC LE PHILOSOPHY & CONCEPT How Does L.E. Achieve These Results?: LESS DOWNTIME INCREASED PRODUCTIVITY IMPROVED EQUIPMENT PERFORMANCE AND EFFICIENCY NOTE: Company cost analysis figures indicate that lubricants only account for 1 3% of the total maintenance & operating budget LE therefore focuses on the 99 97% cost areas to create the BIGGEST savings

13 BASIS OF L.E. LUBRICANTS There are 5 key : Block I DUOLEC, ALMASOL, MONOLEC, QUINPLEX Block II: Top quality Base Oils Block III additives Block IV: Lubricant manufacturing expertise Block V: Quality control to ISO9001 Certification Standards

14 BLOCK I: See separate LE presentation re: DUOLEC ALMASOL MONOLEC QUINPLEX

15 BLOCK II: TOP QUALITY BASE OILS LE only used specially refined base oils that provide: Greater oxidation & high temperature resistance Better lubricity & oil film strength Compatible with seals & hose materials More waterproof, better water resistance (DEMO) Lower Sulphur content - less acid formation & wear

16 BLOCK II: TOP QUALITY BASE OILS The mid-continental crude that L.E. uses is refined with one extra step that is only done for L.E. at our request During the solvent extraction process, at a slower rate or run through twice (at extra cost) The idea is to remove more of the AROMATICS & NAPHTHENICS

17 BLOCK II: TOP QUALITY BASE OILS AROMATICS affect seal hardness & pliability. By removing more AROMATICS oils, oxidation resistance, film strength etc are improved versus competitors of LE

18 BLOCK II: TOP QUALITY BASE OILS With the selection and use of only highly refined paraffinic base oils step, LE oils have a chemical composition & performance similar to synthetic oils like Excellent oxidation resistance Low volatility Long life Few deposits and sludge

19 BLOCK III: suitable additives are sourced without regard to cost, that will help provide the highest possible level of product performance Extreme pressure (E.P.) Compounds Viscosity index (V.I.) Improvers Rust and oxidation (R&O) inhibitors Friction modifiers Anti-wear and tackiness additives Pour-point depressants Detergent dispersants Anti-foam inhibitors

20 BLOCK IV: TOP QUALITY EXPERTISE Simply having all the ingredients does not guarantee the quality & performance of the end product: LE employs experienced, dedicated GREASE MAKERS OIL BLENDERS -of-the-art manufacturing equipment, processes & techniques

21 BLOCK V: QUALITY CONTROL TO ISO 9001 CERTIFICATION STANDARDS Importance of in USA ensures consistent quality & performance worldwide Each & every LE container is inspected for rust & contamination before filling Every batch of base oil, ingredients & additives is checked by LE before use

22 BLOCK V: QUALITY CONTROL TO ISO 9001 CERTIFICATION STANDARDS QC checks are made throughout the manufacturing process QC checks are made on each finished product batch before packaging QC checks are made on every retained batch sample before the products are shipped from the LE plant performance

23 REASONS TO BUY L.E. LUBRICANTS

24 REDUCED LABOUR COSTS Extended drain intervals mean fewer oil changes. That means less time spent changing the oil IMPROVED FUEL ECONOMY Reduced friction results in more miles per gallon. Savings of up to 2.5% or more can be achieved REDUCED OIL CONSUMPTION Make up oil can be reduced by up to 60% based on field tests & even more in actual usage EXTENDED DRAIN INTERVALS SAFELY drain additive package

25 Improved equipment operations less costly to operate efficiently Improved equipment operations yield more profitable uptime & less costly downtime Longer equipment life due to superior lubricants performance equipment life

26 BULK TANK PROGRAM costs, labour intensive drum transfer & minimises product waste analytical test that: order to establish safe, extended oil drain intervals &

27 CUSTOMER SERVICE Expect top quality, on- highly trained local lubrication consultants L.E. representatives & customers have free access to our corporate sales, engineering & technical service teams WE PROVIDE ANSWERS NOT EXCUSES!
