HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 17 July 2025 – Southco is adding two new options to its E5 line of quarter-turn cam latches, opening up a variety of new functionalities. E5 cam latches offer affordable simplicity and superior flexibility due to their efficient modular design. New options for these latches include the Protected Cams and adjustable grips. These additions make the E5 line even more versatile than before.

The Protected Cam is an upgrade from existing flat cams, and perfect for those seeking to avoid wear and cosmetic damage that comes from a flat cam scraping against an enclosure frame. The Protected Cam adds a plastic cover to the end of a cam, providing protection from frame damage and smoother actuation. Fixed Grip Protected Cams are compatible with all E5 and H3 latches.

Southco’s next addition provides additional flexibility for its Wing Knob, T-Handle, and L-Handle cam latches. The Adjustable Grip option lets those using E5-9 hand-operated cam latches manually adjust the cam location on each latch. This allows users to freely change the grip strength of the latch, and adjust for variations in frame dimensions. Variability also allows manufacturers to use one latch for multiple frame designs.

These additions open up new possibilities for Southco E5 Cam Latches. Whether you need a durable protected lock for an outdoor latch, or a more compact device for smaller designs, the E5 has you covered. The additions build on the affordable simplicity that the E5 is known for. E5 latches can be easily installed in a single hole, and provide a no-hassle solution for a wide range of applications.

Reshaping Global Lubricant Supply Chains: Trump-Era Tariffs Driving Industry Pivot Toward Asia

Media Outreach

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 17 July 2025 – With the global lubricants industry still adjusting to the lasting impact of U.S. trade policy enacted during the first presidential term of U.S. President Donald Trump, supply chains are undergoing dramatic shifts—and Asia is solidifying its role as the sector’s global hub.

While the U.S. tariffs primarily targeted a broad range of Chinese industrial chemicals under Section 301, some specialty additives used in lubricant formulations were affected. In response, U.S. manufacturers have faced increased costs, sourcing uncertainties, and production delays, prompting a re-evaluation of procurement strategies. These disruptions have had ripple effects across the automotive, industrial, and specialty lubricant markets worldwide.

Strategic Realignment: From the West to the East

As regulatory complexity and economic uncertainty mount in the U.S. and European markets, many lubricant producers, OEMs, and blenders are redirecting investment and operational focus toward Asia. The region already accounts for the world’s largest share of lubricant demand and continues to post some of the fastest growth, driven by expanding industrialization and vehicle ownership.

Asia’s strong manufacturing base, growing consumer markets, and expanding infrastructure for lubricant production make it an attractive destination for global expansion. Companies are deepening their presence in countries such as China, India, Malaysia, and Singapore—tapping into local production advantages, aligning with regional OEMs, and building supply chain resilience.

The Asian Lubricant Exhibition 2025: Spotlighting the Industry’s Transformation

The challenges—and potential advantages—of this strategic global shift will take center stage at the Asian Lubricant Exhibition 2025, held September 9–11 at the Suntec Singapore Convention & Exhibition Centre, Hall 403, Level 4. As Asia’s only dedicated trade show focused on the lubricants value chain, the event provides a timely platform for addressing trade disruptions, supply chain realignment, and emerging opportunities across the region. The exhibition and exhibitor presentations are open to the public, free of charge. Pre-registration is highly encouraged to be eligible for door prizes and exclusive onsite offers.

Co-hosted by the Asian Lubricants Industry Association (ALIA) and F&L Asia Ltd., the three-day event brings together global players navigating today’s volatile landscape—from base oil producers and additive specialists to blending, packaging, quality and compliance services, logistics, and end-user service providers.

With over 60% of booths already sold, and exhibitors including ExxonMobil, Chevron Oronite, CPC Corporation, Kangtai Lubricant Additives, Kemipex, Patech, Huntsman, Master Fluid, Axel Christiernsson, Metal-Chemie, ML Lubrication, Songwon, Vanderbilt, BRB, Hyrax Oil, and Universal Analytical, the exhibition offers a unique opportunity to showcase solutions that address the current challenges of global trade volatility—especially those tied to tariffs and regulatory pressures.

Highlights Include:

Exhibitor Presentations spotlighting supply chain innovations
Training and networking events such as the Base Oil 101 Training Course and the ALIA Anniversary Dinner
Executive Briefings on market forecasts and trade realignment
The ALIA Sustainability Session on future-ready lubricant strategies

Join the Conversation on Supply Chain Transformation

Whether you’re a supplier, OEM, blender, technology provider, or logistics expert, this is the moment to engage with Asia’s lubricant leaders and align your strategy with where the market is headed.
