Bently Nevada owner, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer, Donald E. Bently, was on-hand at NTS to sign papers and formalize the transaction. He commented, We have long recognized lubrication monitoring as an important and growing facet of machinery condition management. This deal with National Tribology Services underscores that belief. NTS President Roger Rotondi was present as well and enthused about the strength of the newly joined companies saying, This is an ideal fit. A customer-focused predictive maintenance lab, NTS offers a broad range of analysis methods designed to determine the condition of lubrication in industrial machinery.
Proper lubrication is a significant factor in extending machinery life and preventing failures.
Adding NTS to the Bently Nevada family of companies represents an excellent strategic fit with Bently Nevada s global leadership position in machinery condition monitoring through vibration and other instrumentation. Bently Nevada currently offers a wide range of lubrication consulting services as well as Bently LUBE lubrication data management software. Together, the companies will be able to cover all aspects of lubrication condition monitoring, from helping customers establish lubricant monitoring and management programs, to providing lab services for analyzing oil samples, to supplying software for tracking the data returned by the lab. This suite of capabilities is aimed at industrial equipment typically found in the power utilities, petrochemicals, pharmaceutical, pulp and paper, and metals processing industries. As Roger Rotondi stated, Integrating oil analysis technology with vibration technology is synergistic.
