These fluids meet rigorous standards, including OEM approvals from the aerospace industry, and are engineered to reduce wear while enhancing efficiency in demanding applications.
Beyond product expertise, Certas will highlight a suite of Services & Solutions designed to support lubrication requirements in a range of ways:
• On-site surveys and lubrication audits, helping businesses identify fluid optimisation opportunities.
• Metalworking fluid management, including contamination control, compliance & reporting, and data driven maintenance.
• Lubricants Training Academy, providing a range of courses from 1 day Technician training, through to 4 day ICML Accredited courses.
This comprehensive approach reflects Certas’s “fluid thinking” philosophy—integrating product, technical support, and management services to deliver real value for their customers.
A Strategic Approach to an Engineering Event
Advanced Engineering is renowned as the UK’s only event bridging all industrial ecosystems, from composites and robotics to green technologies and additive manufacturing, and attracting OEMs, tier-1 suppliers, SMEs, and government agencies alike.
In 2025, the expo continues to expand its “Enabling Innovation” competition, offering start-ups and SMEs a chance to win a stand and exposure on the main stage—a testament to the show’s role as a platform for disruptive technology and next-gen manufacturing breakthroughs.
Certas’s Track Record: Demonstrating Reliability and Innovation
Certas isn’t new to showcasing its innovations at NEC Birmingham. In June 2025, they displayed their lubrication-management offerings at Maintec, part of Smart Manufacturing Week. There, they introduced services including Advanced Filtration Solutions, Equipment Solutions and, On-site Services, and launched their Lubricants Training Academy..Moreover, Certas’s Knowledge Hub recently published a case study underscoring their expertise as a distributor, having worked with both Castrol, and BAE Systems, to gain a Castrol metalworking OEM approval. No mean feat for a distributor, these types of projects are most often undertaken by the manufacturers.
This evidence of technical excellence and sustained client value underlines the depth Certas brings to Advanced Engineering.
