Our Story: A Heritage of Innovation and Excellence
For over two centuries, Vickers Oil has remained a cornerstone of innovation, quality, and industry leadership. Established in 1828, our company began as a family-run business with a clear mission: to develop superior lubricants that would improve machinery performance and reliability.
From those early beginnings, Vickers Oil quickly earned a reputation for pioneering solutions that shaped industries — most notably the maritime sector. Our ground-breaking lubricants became the gold standard for enhancing engine performance and protecting vital machinery, ensuring vessels operated efficiently and safely across the globe.
While our expertise was initially forged in maritime innovation, we soon expanded our reach to serve industries worldwide. Our commitment to research and development has allowed us to remain at the forefront of technological advancements, ensuring our products evolve to meet the changing needs of modern engineering.
Yet, what truly sets Vickers Oil apart is our enduring family values. Passed down through generations, our dedication to quality, integrity, and customer care remains unwavering. These principles have guided us as we've expanded our product range, entered new markets, and embraced sustainable practices to support a greener future.
Today, Vickers Oil proudly serves clients across multiple industries, from marine and textile manufacturing to food processing and beyond. Our innovative solutions continue to deliver exceptional performance while reducing environmental impact — a testament to our belief that progress and sustainability go hand in hand.
As we celebrate our 200-year anniversary, we reflect on a rich heritage of achievement and forward-thinking innovation. Vickers Oil’s journey is one of resilience, adaptability, and commitment — a story shaped by the dedication of our people and the trust of our customers.
We invite you to explore our history, discover our innovations, and join us as we continue to shape the future of industry with the same values that have guided us for generations.
