In Episode 41 of F+L Webcast, Ping Zhu, vice president of Technology at Lubrizol Additives, shared insights into the company's forward-thinking approach to sustainability and innovation in the lubricant industry. Zhu, who has dedicated 30 years to the company, highlighted the critical role of chemistry in creating solutions that balance performance and sustainability. Zhu emphasised the importance of collaboration within the industry, pointing out that advancements in technology, particularly in hybridisation, electrification, and hydrogen fuels, have transformed the landscape. Lubrizol is at the forefront of this change, working closely with suppliers and OEMs to ensure their chemistry supports the latest hardware innovations while reducing carbon footprints. A key takeaway from the interview is Lubrizol's commitment to sustainability as an integrated part of its strategy, not just a separate initiative. The company is focused on lifecycle analysis, aiming to minimise carbon emissions from cradle to gate. Lubrizol's efforts extend beyond lubricants to include innovations in other divisions, such as cooling and refrigeration solutions and bio-based polymers. As the industry continues to evolve, Zhu believes that Asia-Pacific is at the cutting edge of these changes. The region's diverse market needs, combined with rapid innovation, make it a challenging yet exciting landscape for Lubrizol to navigate. Zhu's message is clear: the lubricant industry must embrace a circular economy and work together across the value chain to achieve sustainability goals.

Navigating Challenges and Embracing Opportunities Reflecting on his first year as president, Kliger highlighted the unforeseen challenges, such as market de-stocking, that tested the company's resilience. Yet, it's Lubrizol's response—focusing on what can be controlled and ensuring customer needs are met—that underscores the company's adaptability and forward-thinking approach. He observed that, following the Covid-19 pandemic and the Texas freeze, the industry at large has significantly enhanced the resilience of its global supply chain. The Global Landscape and Local Solutions With a global footprint that includes significant operations in China and collaborative relationships with OEMs worldwide, Lubrizol is poised to meet regional demands with localized solutions. Kliger emphasized the importance of understanding and adapting to diverse market needs, a strategy that has become even more relevant amid shifting trade relations and the push for sustainability. Sustainability: Transforming the Industry Sustainability is not just a goal but a transformative force at Lubrizol, he said. Kliger passionately discussed how the additives industry is uniquely positioned to address the evolving demands of fuel efficiency, electrification, and reduced emissions. For Lubrizol, this era represents an opportunity to leverage its technological prowess and deep understanding of complex customer needs to drive innovation and sustainability forward. Looking Ahead: Innovation, Agility, and Customer Focus As for the future, Kliger envisions a Lubrizol that remains at the forefront of addressing the industry's most pressing challenges through innovation, agility, and a relentless focus on customer needs. The company's commitment to advancing mobility, improving well-being, and enhancing modern life remains steadfast, driven by a global team that values diversity, expertise, and a shared vision for a sustainable future.

Hi everyone,The following is my conversation with Adam Mead, author of The Complete Financial History of Berkshire Hathaway. We talked about conglomerates, early entrepreneurial experiments at Berkshire, the lean years in the insurance business, managing the company as an informed observer, and returns on his acquisitions.As to finding another Berkshire, Adam was skeptical:“I'll never say never, but it would be highly unlikely to find another [Berkshire Hathaway]. You have a Lollapalooza, to use a Charlie Munger term, starting when they're able to shoot fish in a barrel.”You can listen to this conversation on Spotify, Apple, anchor (and via RSS).Disclaimer: I write and podcast for entertainment purposes only. This commentary reflects the personal opinions of myself and my guest. This is not investment advice. Acquisitions: going-in returns vs. reinvestmentThis is another chart from the book worth highlighting. Berkshire was not built on finding extreme outlier deals. Much depended on how capital was reinvested subsequently (whether in organic growth, further acquisitions, or public markets) and, of course, cheap leverage from insurance float.From the book: “In Berkshire's early years, good companies were available for bargain prices. It bought the Illinois National Bank & Trust Company and The Buffalo News at book value, and the discarded Scott Fetzer and Fechheimer at premiums that still produced going-in pre-tax returns in the mid-20% range.Generally, the better the business was, the higher its price (as represented by purchase multiple paid compared to the company's underlying value). The return on capital of the underlying businesses (the company-level return) ranges widely.See's was one of Berkshire's earliest purchases and was made when markets were not as efficient. The low Scott Fetzer and Fechheimer purchase multiples reflected that Berkshire could act as a safe port amid the leverage buyout storm of the mid-1980s.By contrast, Lubrizol and Heinz were excellent companies earning great returns on capital, but the price Berkshire paid reflected the market's correct appraisal of that fact.”(I didn't see it specified on the page but I think the numbers refer to return on equity and price/book).From the conversation: “You have this dynamic in the early days of finding really good businesses like See's and having a pretty modest multiple. Good businesses at really good prices. Then you have the later days of buying really good or pretty good businesses at higher multiples because the market's just gotten efficient over time. But you still have the dynamic of reinvestment going on.Let's just use a plain example. If you had a business earning 30% on capital and you paid two times that capital, your going in return would be 30 divided by two, 15%. The important part is, if that business can grow, you don't have to reinvest at 2x the capital, you get to reinvest at 1x. That marginal capital gets, in this example, reinvested at 30%. That drags up your going in return over time. But I think Buffet's very clear in pointing out that you can't pay too much for growth. You can't have a going-in return of 2-3%, even if it grows enormously. The time value of money just destroys any kind of return that you have. I think he always looks for the good business and then he has a secondary analysis of what are the reinvestment opportunities. And he's fine, as long as the purchase price reflects it, he's fine taking the dividends and finding another place for them. And if the business can reinvest that capital, let's do that. That plays out in the extreme case of the energy business, where you're still getting, in many cases, 11-12% regulated return, which is nothing to sneeze at.”Conglomerates before Berkshire“The first sort of real conglomerate was American Home Products in the late 1930s. I do have some of those Moody's reports on my website.They weren't crooks. I think that can kind of be misconstrued. These guys weren't the Enrons of their day trying to just put something over on investors. But they strayed a little bit in terms of messing around with the accounting or saying, gee, the market's valuing our conglomerate at 20 times earnings or 15 times earnings, and we're gonna buy this other company at five or six times earnings. And I can buy anything that I want as long as it's less than my P/E. And it's gonna magically transform my conglomerate into something better. Now the problem with that is it ignored the underlying economics.”Control vs. delegation“I think this whole idea of extreme delegation comes from the fact that Buffet and Monger started as stock pickers. What is the difference between owning a 5% position and owning a hundred percent position? You have the ability to direct the actions of that company. But should you? Berkshire was being almost agnostic in the sense of ownership level. We're still gonna let that manager run his or her business. We're only attracted to businesses that are good anyways. So why would we go in and meddle?”“You don't just have delegation just shy of abdication. It's hands-off in the sense of not meddling, but you still have an informed observer. That is the key. Buffet's getting fed this river of data coming into Omaha. And I think he communicates his thinking to managers through his questions. Okay, let's be a little bit more aggressive in trying to price the product because we think we have pricing power.”“Buffet writes a letter to Chuck Huggins [at See's Candy] and says, I just went out and I saw this one store and our candy was sitting next to Russell Stover, and it was kind of a mess. Let's use these psychological tricks to keep our candy front of mind and make it have apparent scarcity. I mean, that's Buffet the entrepreneur, that's Buffet the manager.”Buffett's early days at Berkshire“He began in 1965 at Berkshire Hathaway. He lived in Omaha and a guy like that, so attuned to business, is going to just be curious about all these businesses around him. Well, one of them was National Indemnity. This was the real first big deal of Berkshire Hathaway, 1967. He bought National Indemnity and its sister company, National Fire and Marine for $8.6 million. In hindsight, he said he would've been better off buying that in an entity outside of Berkshire Hathaway.So it was sort of a mistake on his part to bring the legacy Berkshire Hathaway shareholders along with him. He just used it as his vehicle and the rest is history. That was the first transformative deal based. That gave Buffet not only a platform to invest the float, which was almost $20 million. Jack Ringwalt, the manager of that business, showed him that you can [underwrite] any risk as long as it's priced appropriately.”The lean years in insuranceAnother takeaway from both the letters and Adam's book is the number of years that parts of the insurance struggled. Early expansion efforts weren't always successful. And in the early 80s the competitive environment was very challenging. While the long-term cost compares favorably to even government debt, shareholders had to maintain conviction for a long time.“You have Buffet taking this idea that insurance can be a very good business, just trying to see what works. Let's scale this thing, right? … Some of these ultimately failed. This is experimentation and you have to see what works. Different markets operate differently. That was the 1970s, this period of let's build this thing.From 1982 to 1992, they lost $522 million from underwriting alone. Now, it sounds like a lot, and it was, but the insurance business overall was profitable because of the investment income. There was a period, National Indemnity saw its premiums decline from the mid eighties to the late nineties. Something like $350 million to $50 million. Just an extreme decline. That's a long time.” This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit alchemy.substack.com/subscribe

As Q3 nears its end Global base oils fundamentals soften with growing supply and sluggish demand driving downward pressure in the US and European markets. ICIS editors Eashani Chavda and Amanda Hay discuss the latest market drivers for these regions with ICIS analysts Alessia Succi and Michael Connolly.*On Wednesday, Lubrizol lifted FM that had been in place since the February 2021 winter storm in the US, according to market sources.

Being the agent for change inside a large organization is not for the faint of heart. The concept of innovation has been a corporate talking point for years, but the framework to harness disruptive thinking and visionary goals have yet to truly be established. Innovation should be as dynamic as the forces that make it necessary in order to remain competitive now and into the future. When teams begin to think differently, traditional ways of operating become a thing of the past. Innovation may not be easy to affect in a $7.5 billion business, but this week's guest has done just that. Kelly Kovack is joined by Brandon Ford, the Chief Accelerator Director of Lubrizol Life Science. They discuss how the confluence of skills that Brandon has mastered through his enigmatic career as a nurse, lawyer, wine educator and team master have set him up for success.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

« Je suis réveillé la nuit, je crois qu'on me cambriole mais en fait non...j'ai compris par la suite que c'était des bouteilles de gaz qui explosaient. La première dépêche AFP tombe, incendie à l'usine de Lubrizol. Plus moyen de retrouver le sommeil. Je me dis que je vais perdre mon emploi.» Quelques jours après l'incendie, un de ses anciens responsable chez Air Liquide lui dira « Tu vas voir, au sortir de cette crise, tu ne seras ni le même homme, ni même juriste».

L'incendie est éteint mais pas le combat. Plus d'un an et demi après la catastrophe industrielle de l'usine Lubrizol à Rouen, la cour d'appel de Paris confirme, ce 30 juin, la mise en examen de la société américaine.  Elle avait déposé un recours en nullité, parce qu'elle estimait avoir été mise en examen sur la base de non-conformités qui n'auraient pas été dénoncées par les services de l'Etat avant l'incendie, mais signalées a posteriori. En avril dernier, l'actu des luttes était à Rouen.  La bas, les collectifs de victimes tentent de faire pression sur l'Etat et l'entreprise. La décision de la cour d'appel à été saluée comme une victoire par les parties civiles. On vous propose un retour dans les rues de la ville pour entendre la colères des habitant.es.

A pandemia antecipou a adoção do trabalho remoto de casa para funcionários de muitas empresas. Depois de um período de adaptação, muita gente vê a possibilidade do home office mesmo após o fim da pandemia de covid-19.

Regular readers of NOLN likely saw a lot of coverage about the new gasoline engine oil standards from the American Petroleum Institute.  Interestingly, diesel engine oils are evolving in very similar ways, with technology and viscosities geared toward greater efficiency and lower emissions. A lot of technology and development goes into those standards, and Greg Matheson from Lubrizol is an expert who broke it all down in this interview. He's a commercial lubricants product manager at Lubrizol and gave excellent insight into the meaning behind the new FA-4 service category, how it differs from previous specs, and what it means for diesel engines. For more information, check out this NOLN article on the diesel service category changes, as well as this information from Lubrizol and API.

Welcome back to The Burn, Beyond Firestop. I'm still your host John Zalepka. If you don't know, this show is dedicated to life safety. So I'm on a mission to find the most interesting people in the space to get their unique perspectives. Now you can usually find me training people so that they understand where firestop falls in the whole life safety end of things, but the subtitle of this show tells you that we want to get beyond that. So our hope is that our listening audience walks away with an understanding of how our guests and their businesses also contribute to the promotion of life safety of whatever is being built. Our show is brought to you by Specified Technologies, also known as STI Firestop. We are a global leader in the fire protective industry. We develop innovative fire protective systems that help stop the spread of fire, smoke and hot gases. Our guest today is also knowledgeable on such things as she helps the fire protective industry, she's responsible for setting marketing, product, sales, and innovation strategy for Lubrizol Advanced Material's fire protection segment, which includes BlazeMaster(R) CPVC piping systems and freezemaster(TM) Antifreeze. Key Takeaways Lainey's background Started a business at age 8, selling signs. Ran it for 4 years.  Double Major at Penn State, Marketing & Spanish Getting into Firestop Interned at Tyco Returned after graduation to become Associate Global Product Manager Mentorship Led a committee while working for Chemours to start a mentorship program.  Career at Lubrizol  Compatibility program called FBC System Compatible Lubrizol invented CPVC Multiple brands such as Corzan®, FlowGuard Gold®, BlazeMaster®, and freezemaster™ Guidance on ingredients Not all CPVC are created equal  Additional Work & Committees  Part of 5 different committees for NFSA, National Fire Sprinkler Association  Future Leadership ITM Inspection, Testing, Maintenance Quality Assurance  Residential Supplier Manufacturers Council  About Lainey: When I was in second grade, I started a business creating and selling signs out of my basement. Granted, the only customers of my cleverly named "Sign Store" were my parents, baby sitter, and neighbors, but it was pretty legitimate for a company run by an eight year old --- I had an office (empty storage closet), a cash register (thank you, Santa!), employee ID badges (complete with head shots from my iZone Polaroid), and even a monthly newsletter. I'm proud to say that I ran my little basement business until I got into the sixth grade. Clearly, with my Sign Store as evidence, I am one of those people who is fortunate to have known from a very young age exactly what I wanted to do when I grew up. I have always had a passion for business, a desire to lead and encourage others, and a knack for solving problems. I am self-motivated, incredibly driven, and ever curious; I strive to constantly learn and challenge myself in whatever I do. In a prior role as Global Product Manager, Residential Products and Programs for Tyco FPP (now a part of Johnson Controls,) I was able to do what I love while continuously developing my business acumen. On any given day you could find me out in the field gathering customer feedback, in the office driving new product development projects, in the lab leading innovation workshops, or on the phone with cross-functional teams working to optimize processes. In my Market Development role at Chemours, I was able to not only gain exposure to a new industry (HVAC) but also further hone my marketing and business development skills. I've since returned to the fire protection industry as the Fire Protection Segment Manager at Lubrizol where I am in charge of setting the business and marketing strategy for BlazeMaster(R) CPVC Piping Systems and freezemaster(TM) Antifreeze.
