General Info

BP Castrol is acknowledged as among the world's leading specialist provider of lubrication solutions. From a heavy-goods vehicle to a cargo ship, from a farm tractor to an earthmover, from a steel mill production line to a passenger bus line, there is a Castrol lubricant designed specifically for the job. In 1899, Charles 'Cheers' Wakefield set up an oil company in England. Ten years later, he produced a new lubricant that would revolutionize transport in the first half of the Twentieth Century. He called the new oil Castrol. Although most people know the company for developing lubricants for cars and bikes, it also produces lubricants that directly affect people s daily lives in other, less noticeable ways ... such as in gas and electricity production, transport industries, construction and earth moving vehicles, refrigeration, metalworking and plastics, not forgetting lubricants for the marine sector and for industry in general. From its headquarters in Wayne, N.J. Castrol operates units in more than 60 countries worldwide.
