April 2026 SKF reported that India and Southeast Asia represented 11% of its group sales and confirmed the continued regional availability of its bearings, seals, lubrication systems, and related equipment portfolio. The disclosure supports SKF’s established commercial presence in Asia-Pacific but did not identify a new manual-lubrication product launch or regional acquisition.
March 2026 Graco introduced Pulse Mobile, a wirelessly connected fluid-management system for lubricant dispensing from mobile service and lubrication trucks. The platform records dispensed fluids, improves lubricant accountability, and reduces waste during field equipment servicing. Although digitally managed rather than fully manual, the system directly supports manual lubricant-dispensing operations and is offered through Graco’s Asia-Pacific network.
