Gareth Fish has received the 2023 Frank C. Brautigam award from ASTM International for his contributions to the wear and erosion committee (G02).

This award is given in memory of Frank C. Brautigam, who served as task group chair on abrasive wear from 1980-1986, to recognize outstanding and effective work in the development of new ASTM International standards.

Fish has been recognized for his significant lifetime contributions to education and academic literature surrounding lubrication greases, as well as his decades of innovation within the industry.

An ASTM International member since 2009, Fish has been previously honored by the committee with two Awards of Appreciation in 2018 and 2021. The first was for his contributions to grease testing, and the second was for contributions to lubricants for marine applications.

Fish is currently a technical fellow at The Lubrizol Corporation, a Berkshire Hathaway company, a position he has held since 2010, and his primary 35-year career focus has been on lubricating greases. He is a member and/or certified specialist with a variety of other organizations, including the Royal Society of Chemistry, the Society of Tribologists and Lubrications Engineers, NLGI (formerly National Lubricating Grease Institute), and more.
