    UNIST HQ Dear Steve,

    Welcome to our new subscribers! Micro-Mail is the news and application e-mail which reports the possibilities for environmentally friendly lubrication for metal cutting and metal forming.

    Spring is here and it's time to be considering the year's process improvement projects. This issue contains a positive report on manufacturing consumption, but those of us entrenched in industry know we're not out of the woods yet.

    The good news is lubrication is a low-hanging fruit in almost any industrial operation. Give us a call so we can help you find ways to create additional revenue by lubricating better.
