About
Motul is considered as the specialist in lubricant products specially formulating synthetic oils where it is started its activities in the sector of high-quality lubricant products from the very beginning of the 20th century. The former company was established in 1853 in New York, America, and was engaged in the whale-oil business that was used for the lanterns. The entity was owned by the Rockefeller Group and was operated as one of a subsidiary of Standard Oil Company.
The establishment was managed and run by Swan Finch that later formed and was called the Swan & Finch Company from 1919. By this time Swan & Finch Company developed several brands under its operation named Aerul, Textul, Motul, etc. and as of 1920, the company entered into the international markets by exporting its products under those brands including Motul.
In sequence, in 1932, Mr. Ernst Zaug had negotiated with Swan & Finch for the distribution of the Motul products in France through his own company Supra Penn. Thereafter, in 1957 when Swan & Finch suspended its business activities Supra Penn bought the entire entity of Motul including all the title deeds and patents under the brand Motul. Thus the entity entirely moved to France, renamed Motul S.A., and now is continuing its operation as a French corporation.
