CLEVELAND, May 3, 2018 - The Lubrizol Corporation announces its Engineered Polymers business will unveil the use of HYPEBOX® technology with its contemporary new branding elements to engage customers and visitors at NPE 2018. Lubrizol will exhibit at Booth S12115 in the South Hall of the Orange County Convention Center, May 7-11, 2018, in Orlando, Florida.
At the main corners of Lubrizol's booth, two interactive HYPEBOX® displays will deliver an entirely new 3-dimensional, interactive experience to booth visitors. Behind the screen, display cases feature physical objects that demonstrate the use of Lubrizol technology from their Estane® TPU and other product lines in many Sports & Recreation and Industrial applications.
In front, with the touch of a finger, OLED touchscreen panels bring the technology "to life" with computer-generated graphics, videos and technology callouts. The unique combination of physical objects and the digital overlay creates an exciting experience that educates on product benefits while bringing the "Advancing Materials. Elevating Performance" branding and innovation story to life for NPE visitors.
Icons at the top of the screen make it easy to customize user experience based on market segment preferences, and to see how Lubrizol has grown since first inventing TPU in 1959. Selecting the Legacy icon generates an animated timeline that shows how, through decades of innovation, strong dedication to markets served and strategic acquisitions, Lubrizol Engineered Polymers has created one of the deepest, most specialized portfolios available.
On the opposite side of the HYPEBOX® displays, large showcases are filled with examples of Lubrizol technology in use, further demonstrating the "Advancing Materials. Elevating Performance." brand statement and value proposition. Elo Touchscreen monitors enable on-demand access to Engineered Polymers' videos and website, while a customized trade show app allows electronic literature files to be instantly transmitted to visitors to cut down on printed literature.
Julie Shlepr, business development director for Engineered Polymers, states, "The use of this interactive technology is perfectly aligned with our desire to demonstrate our ability to perceive and respond to changing markets and new opportunities, on the forefront of innovation, from technology development to the way we interact and communicate with our markets."
Michael Priola, marketing communications manager, adds, "We continue to enhance our digital marketing communications, with the goal of making it easier for our audience to find us, engage with our technology, and ultimately, apply Lubrizol materials in ways that can differentiate their products from those of their competition. It's our job to make our customers' lives and the lives of end users easier, and impactful digital communication can help with that objective."
