The second weekend in January this year marks the 11th annual (Happy Birthday, XBiz!) XBIZ Awards. Following close on the tail of the annual ANME show in Burbank, a staple for the Sliquid team, the XBIZ Awards are always an exciting event for the Sliquid staff. Sliquid has been the recipient of several XBiz awards in the past, but 2013 marks a new and exciting first for the Sliquid team… A second straight “Lubricant Company of the Year” award! Thanks go out to XBIZ, the voting committee, and most of all all of our Sliquid enthusiasts! See you next year for round three!
