Base Oils, Lubricants and Additives Technology Exhibition (BOLATME) runs 28-30 September 2026 at Dubai World Trade Centre. The show covers base oil production, finished lubricants, grease, and additive chemistry, with around 500+ exhibitors and 10,000 industry visitors expected.
About BOLATME
BOLATME is the MENA region’s dedicated trade show for the lubricants industry value chain, from base oil production through finished lubricant brands. The show runs alongside conference sessions covering lubricant formulation, base oil markets, additives chemistry, and regional supply trends.
The show carries weight because the Middle East is a major base oil producing region (Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Bahrain all have significant base oil refining capacity), and the GCC is a net exporter of base stocks to Asia and Africa. At the same time, the finished lubricants market in MENA, Africa, and South Asia continues to grow on the back of vehicle population growth, industrial expansion, and infrastructure development. BOLATME is where regional refiners, blenders, and additive suppliers do their annual sourcing and partnership work.
What’s on the show floor
BOLATME covers base oil production (Group I, II, II+, III, III+, and IV base stocks), finished lubricants (automotive engine oils, industrial lubricants, marine, aviation, food-grade lubricants, metalworking fluids), greases, additives (performance additives, viscosity modifiers, antiwear, friction modifiers, dispersants, detergents), blending plant equipment, packaging (drums, IBCs, small-pack lines), testing equipment and lubricant analysis services, and supply chain solutions for the lubricants industry (storage, logistics, certification).
Who buys at BOLATME
Lubricant manufacturers and blenders from MENA, Africa, and South Asia, base oil refineries and traders, additive suppliers and distributors, OEM specification managers (automotive and industrial), fleet and industrial procurement managers, marine and aviation lubricant buyers, and testing laboratories. The show attracts senior technical and commercial decision-makers given its tight focus on a specialised value chain.
