Long-Standing Employees: The Backbone of SelfLube's Commitment to Excellence
Since its start in 1990, SelfLube's journey from humble beginnings to industry prominence has been guided by a simple yet powerful principle: providing high-value products and services to its customers.
Doing that requires a high skill work force. There are no shortcuts here. To build a high skill workforce requires a lot of time on the job.
A Legacy of Innovation
SelfLube's story began when Engineer and Management Consultant, Phil Allor, took a bold step and purchased used CNC equipment to produce self-lubricating wear plates. From its modest origins serving local tool shops, SelfLube's commitment to excellence quickly led to a product line expansion, adding both conventional and self-lubricating components in inch and metric sizes.
Today, with a catalog boasting over 10,000 standard part numbers, SelfLube caters to a diverse clientele across the U.S. and Canada, supplying components essential for tooling, special machines, and a wide range of other industrial equipment. Along with its expansive line of standard parts, SelfLube can also create custom solutions, adding an extra layer of flexibility and accommodation to help meet customer needs.
The Secret to Success
An unwavering dedication to quality and customer satisfaction lies at the heart of SelfLube’s continued success. With a track record of 99% on-time shipping and 13 consecutive years of zero non-conformance ISO 9001 audits, SelfLube exemplifies a commitment to excellence that permeates every aspect of its operations.
But perhaps the most critical ingredient in SelfLube's recipe for success is its people – the dedicated and experienced employees who have been instrumental in driving the company forward for the past 34 years.
