From its inception in 1998, Noria Corporation's business model was conceived around, and continues to center around, knowledge dissemination. We strive to be the first source of information in the fields of machinery lubrication, oil analysis, tribology and contamination control. As such, we publish several trade magazines, Reliable Plant, Machinery Lubrication and Practicing Oil Analysis. In addition to publishing, Noria hosts annual Lubrication Excellence, Reliability World and Lean Manufacturing conferences and offers public, private and online training seminars.
Noria's Reliability Solutions, the services division of Noria Corporation, provides a range of services related to machinery lubrication and oil analysis. In fact, Noria services represent the largest part of our business:
