With the continual push for more efficient and reliable machines, the science of friction and wear will always provide benefits to those companies that use it correctly.
Ingram Tribology was set up to help deliver our customers competitive advantage through leveraging our deep understanding of how materials interact, and using cutting edge technologies and research to deliver solutions to their problems.
Set up in 2018 by Marc Ingram, Ingram Tribology has since developed a reputation for quality research methodology, innovation and delivery. The company is based in Carmarthen, Wales, but works with customers across the world.
Our Mission
Our aim is to leverage our tribology expertise to solve the industry’s biggest friction, wear and lubrication challenges, through excellent testing, training and support services, and to reduce the one third of the world’s energy that is used overcoming friction and wear.
We are:
Flexible
We don’t stick to a rigid methodology. We make sure we understand our customers needs and deliver quickly and effectively.
Inquisitive
We’re thoughtful and questioning, testing pre-conceived assumptions and exploring new ideas.
Relevant
Our clients don’t get a standardised answer. We tailor our research and reports to give you the information, data and answers you need.

Traction Curves
Traction curves can be used to develop lubricants for specific applications, for example high traction fluids for CVTs. They can also be used to help understand the physical changes of the lubricant under high contact pressures. This can then be used to help develop new lubricants with special properties, for example with low traction to…
