At Lubricant World, we continue to bring key industry developments, groundbreaking investments, and significant events to our readers. In this issue, our cover story is dedicated to Automechanika Istanbul 2025 – Türkiye’s largest international trade fair and the most comprehensive gathering of the automotive aftermarket industry in the region.
Scheduled to take place at TÜYAP from June 12-15, Automechanika Istanbul will once again be a platform for new product launches and valuable business connections. As a media partner, we will be present at this prestigious event, engaging directly with sector professionals through face-to-face meetings, ensuring that we capture the latest trends and insights.
Also in this issue, we explore the transformation journey of a company integrating sustainability into its operational strategies. Our exclusive interview with Nynas Turkey and Central Asia General Manager Mr. Devrim İldiri, sheds light on critical industry topics, including energy security, carbon neutrality, and circular production. We extend our sincere thanks to General Manager İldiri for sharing his valuable perspectives.
Sustainability-focused legislative changes in the European Union will remain key agenda items shaping our sector in the coming years. In a special article for our magazine, Chemvisor General Manager Eyüp Şimşek provides an in-depth analysis of REACH, CLP, and the Digital Product Passport regulations, set to take effect in 2024. By including this assessment in our technical article column, we aim to support sector stakeholders in their compliance processes.
A significant contribution to the intersection of academic expertise and industry practice comes from Prof. Dr. Filiz Karaosmanoğlu, Faculty Member at Istanbul Technical University’s Chemical Engineering Department, President of the Sustainable Production and Consumption Association, and Editorial Board President of our magazine. In her exclusive column following the 10th Carbon Summit, she provides valuable insights into the automotive sector’s sustainability journey.
