Item 5.02.    Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
 
On September 24, 2008, Mr. Michael F. Barry was elected as a Class I Director by the Board of Directors of Quaker Chemical Corporation (the "Corporation"), effective October 4, 2008. As previously announced, Mr. Barry will succeed Mr. Ronald J. Naples as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, upon Mr. Naples' retirement from this position on October 3, 2008.

Based on the Board's adopted independence standards set forth in the Corporation's Corporate Governance Guidelines, Mr. Barry is not an independent director because he is an executive officer of the Corporation. No additional compensation shall be paid to Mr. Barry as a result of his election to the Board nor has he been appointed as a member of any of the standing committees of the Board.

 
 
Item 5.03.    Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year
 
On September 24, 2008, the Corporation's Board of Directors amended Sections 4.2 and 4.3 of the Corporation's By-laws to reflect changes necessitated by the CEO transition announced previously, specifically separating the duties of the Chairman and the President of the Corporation. The amendments are effective on October 4, 2008.
