REKTOL History

The roots of the brand REKTOL go back to the 19th century, when Carl Benz invented the first car in 1886. Six years later, in 1892, the lubricant business was founded, from which the present REKTOL lubricant factory emerged. REKTOL is an over 125 years existing family business and has extensive knowhow and experience. Through long-term partnership-oriented business relationships, hard work and a lot of commitment over four generations, REKTOL is today one of the most trusted and longest established lubricant manufacturers in Germany.
The lubricants are manufactured exclusively in the middle of Germany, in the REKTOL factories I and II. Only the best raw materials are used in the environmentally compatible manufacturing processes. Over four generations, REKTOL lubricants have been used successfully in millions of vehicles and machines – worldwide.



Responsibility For Our Environment

The key to Rektol success is not only based on the over 125 years lubricant experience, which is reflected in the high-quality of our lubricants. Compliance with the high requirements on our premium lubricant products and a continuous process of improvement in all company divisions are the main basis of Rektol’s successful history.

Rektol has an in-house process-oriented quality management system, which especially manages and monitors technical processes as well as the implementation of customer requirements. This management system has been systematically developed over decades and was successfully implemented in 2007, adapted to the requirements of the DIN EN ISO 9000 ff.

We are conscious of our responsibility towards future generations and pay special attention to environmentally friendly manufacturing processes which save resources and protect the environment. Rektol is certified as a specialist in lubrication technology by UNITI, the German Association for Small and Medium-Sized Oil Companies.
