History of Castrol
On 19 March 1899, Charles Cheers Wakefield set up an oil company.
Ten years later he produced a new lubricant that would revolutionise
transport in the first half of the Twentieth century. He called
the new oil Castrol. The success of Castrol owes much to the
original philosophy of Charles Wakefield.
Wakefield established the foundations of a specialist lubricants
company committed to premium quality, high performance and
leading edge technology. Through this company he played
a key role in developing the transport industries and the
pioneering days of record achievements.
Wakefield drew on the help and encouragement of his customers
in developing his new Castrol Oil because he had the foresight
to see that progress for both parties would be best achieved
in partnership. This rationale is as successful and relevant
to Castrol today as it was then. |
