For 25 years, LubriSource has helped manufacturers reduce downtime, protect equipment, and strengthen lubrication programs through practical expertise in lubrication systems, contamination control, oil analysis, fluid handling, filtration, lube room solutions, and field service support. 

 

The Beginning: 25 Years of Lubrication Excellence

LubriSource’s success has never been about one person or one product line. It has been built by a team that understands manufacturing, cares about details, and takes pride in leaving things better than we found them.

For 25 years, LubriSource has helped manufacturers improve equipment reliability, lubrication management, contamination control, and uptime through practical industrial lubrication solutions. From automated lubrication systems and centralized lubrication systems to oil analysis support, filtration solutions, lube room design, lubricant storage and handling, and fluid handling and dispensing, LubriSource has grown into a trusted technical partner for maintenance, reliability, and operations teams across the Midwest and beyond.

Celebrating 25 years of helping manufacturers improve lubrication reliability and equipment performance.In 2017, Angela Morrow, President of LubriSource, and Kevin Morrow, VP of Solutions, purchased LubriSource and continues building the company as a trusted industrial reliability partner.  With Angela’s focused leadership, LubriSource has grown as a WBENC-certified women‑owned business focused on customer service, practical problem‑solving, and long‑term manufacturing relationships. Kevin’s strong technical acumen and deep field experience have strengthened LubriSource’s ability to design, troubleshoot, and implement lubrication solutions  that help customers improve equipment reliability, reduce downtime, and protect production.

 Angela also serves on the Board of WBEC‑ORV, where she helps support and serve other women entrepreneurs and business owners. While this certification is an important part of LubriSource’s story, the company’s broader focus remains the same: serving manufacturers with practical lubrication expertise, responsive support, and long‑term reliability solutions. 

2026 TeamBehind every successful project is our team. Designers turn customer needs into workable layouts and engineered solutions. Assemblers build practical, durable equipment that can stand up to real plant environments. Customer service keeps details moving,  communicates with customers, and ensures follow‑through. Field service technicians bring hands‑on support to the plant floor. Sales and technical support listen first, ask good questions, and recommend what fits.

How LubriSource Keeps High‑Stakes Operations Running  

LubriSource serves manufacturers that cannot afford unnecessary downtime, where oil cleanliness, lubricant health, filtration, contamination control, and preventive maintenance directly affect productivity. 

Whether the challenge is recurring lubrication failures, a messy lube room, poor storage and handling practices, cross‑contamination risk, or a centralized lubrication system that needs troubleshooting, LubriSource brings field experience, engineering knowledge, and practical recommendations that maintenance teams can implement and sustain.

cartsA major milestone in our journey was the purchase of The IFH Group’s fluid storage and dispensing product line, which expanded our ability to support bulk oil storage, fluid handling and dispensing systems, mobile filtration carts, clean lubricant transfer, color‑coded lubrication practices, replacement parts, upgrades, and customized LSFH solutions. Because LubriSource had long served as a distributor of the former IFH line, the transition was a natural fit and strengthened our ability to support contamination control from storage to transfer to point‑of‑use lubrication. Today, LSFH is a key part of our growth in fluid handling, lubricant storage, filtration, contamination prevention, and lube room improvement.

Industry Leadership, Customer Success, and Manufacturing Engagement

 A 25‑year anniversary gives us a chance to celebrate not only what LubriSource has built, but also how we have stayed involved in the industries we serve

Angela Morrow, President of LubriSource, has represented the company through manufacturing, supplier development, and business advocacy organizations. She has spoken at Honda’s Partnership Network and serves through DRMA, including involvement in the Government Relations committee. 

Kevin Morrow, VP of Solutions, brings deep technical leadership to LubriSource’s reliability work. His involvement with AIST reflects LubriSource’s commitment to technical education, lubrication excellence, and the steel and heavy manufacturing industries. Angela’s leadership and Kevin’s technical expertise have helped LubriSource continue to grow while staying grounded in customer service, practical solutions, and long‑term reliability partnerships.

Together, that balance matters: strong business leadership, deep technical knowledge, and a team that can take ideas from concept to finished solution. LubriSource’s strength comes from combining application engineering, industrial maintenance experience, system design, field service support, and customer‑first communication into solutions that fit the reality of plant operations.

Reliable Plant, LSFH, and What Comes Next

As LubriSource looks ahead, one of the most exciting moments in this anniversary year is our presence at Reliable Plant. The show brings together maintenance and reliability professionals focused on practical ways to improve plant performance, reduce downtime, extend equipment life, and build stronger reliability programs.

This year, LubriSource will showcase new LSFH fluid handling and storage solutions at Reliable Plant, including our latest designed unit. This system reflects where LubriSource is headed: combining clean lubricant storage, filtration, safe fluid transfer, contamination prevention, lube room organization, system design, and practical controls into solutions that help manufacturers protect lubricants before they ever reach the machine.

LubriSource is also proud to become the new sponsor of the Lube Room Challenge Awards. This is a meaningful fit for our company because lube room improvement has become one of the clearest ways manufacturers can turn lubrication best practices into visible, sustainable reliability gains. Clean, organized, properly labeled, and well‑equipped lube rooms help protect lubricants from contamination and support safer, more reliable maintenance practices.

From bulk oil storage and clean lubricant transfer to oil analysis support, off‑line filtration, point‑of‑use lubrication, color‑coded lubrication systems, and lube room best practices, LubriSource remains focused on practical improvements that help manufacturers build stronger lubrication programs.
