Amplify Your Reach During Singapore’s Biggest Week in Energy

The Asian Lubricants Exhibition 2025, taking place from September 9–11 at Suntec Singapore, coincides with APPEC 2025—S&P Global’s flagship Asia Pacific Petroleum Conference—scheduled for September 8–11 at Raffles City Convention Centre.

This timely overlap offers exhibitors and visitors a unique advantage. While APPEC draws global players in the oil and energy trading markets, it does not cover lubricants, base oils, or additives in its program. That’s where the Asian Lubricants Exhibition steps in—offering the region’s only dedicated platform for the entire lubricants value chain.

Held within walking distance of the APPEC venue, our exhibition presents an excellent opportunity to connect with industry professionals already in town for APPEC, including base oil traders, blenders, and downstream partners seeking more targeted solutions.

With free registration for trade visitors, and affordable add-on programs like our Base Oil Training Course, the Asian Lubricants Exhibition complements—rather than competes with—APPEC. Together, these events create a high-impact week for the fuels and lubricants industries in Singapore.
