About Us
Leading a Safer, More Sustainable Future
Founded in 1991, Renewable Lubricants was built on a bold vision: to challenge petroleum’s dominance in lubrication. From our very first corn-based engine oil developed in an inventor’s garage to today’s portfolio of 250+ products and 180+ patents worldwide, we’ve never stopped advancing that vision.
Today, Renewable Lubricants is the largest and oldest manufacturer of biodegradable, food-grade, and industrial lubricants in North America. Leaders in fleet maintenance, food processing, marine operations and OEM manufacturing trust us for our expansive product lineup, quick lead times and unmatched customer service.
At our core, we believe that performance and responsibility go hand in hand. That’s why we exist: to replace petroleum lubricants with safer, biodegradable lubricants that protect equipment, people, and the planet—today and for generations to come.
