SKF says the focus has contributed to the building being awarded the US Green Building Association’s highest possible LEED Platinum rating.

“We see substantial potential for future growth within our automated lubrication systems business,” said SKF president and CEO Tom Johnstone.

“These systems, including the Quicklime family of products manufactured in Chodov, use up to 30% less grease than manual systems and our new facility here ensures we will be able to continue to meet the needs of our customers.”
