Trico Corp. to develop new oil analysis laboratory in Wisconsin

Trico Corp., a provider of lubrication management services and products, is adding a new oil analysis laboratory at its Pewaukee, Wis., facility. The lab's demand-driven instrument configurations will allow for immediate changes to instrument locations as customer requirements change.

Set for completion in December, the lab will provide customers with choices from product placement to oil analysis services.

Equipment will be purchased to expand the company's core test offerings to provide customers with seamless transmission of data, including equipment condition, contamination levels, and the physical and chemical properties of lubricants. The lab also will emphasize analytical ferrography, a cornerstone of the company's current oil analysis laboratory.

Initially the lab will create 15 new positions for 2012, with another 27 jobs anticipated over the next three years.
