Ballistol Universal Oil: A masterpiece of innovation and quality - unrivalled for 120 years

The history behind the unique Ballistol Universal Oil dates back to 1874, when F.W. KLEVER GmbH was founded by Friedrich Wilhelm Klever. What began as a small family business has developed over time into a renowned company that today supplies customers worldwide as BALLISTOL GmbH.

Ballistol Universal Oil was first launched on the market in 1904 as a wound, gun and leather care oil. Since then, it has enjoyed great popularity in a wide range of applications. Whether as a rust inhibitor, cleaning or care product for leather, wood, metal and much more - Ballistol Universal Oil not only combines functionality, unrivalled versatility and high quality in one product, but is also biodegradable and harmless to health. These diverse properties still contribute significantly to the company's success today, as Ballistol Universal Oil is still produced according to the original formula.

Over the years, BALLISTOL has steadily expanded its portfolio and successfully established itself as an innovative manufacturer. In addition to the universal oil, the company's range now includes many other care oils as well as cleaning and care products for garden, household, vehicles and industry. BALLISTOL products are used everywhere, whether in workshops, craft or industrial businesses and especially in the home and garden.

Andreas Zettler, Commercial Director at BALLISTOL, knows about the good products that are manufactured in his company and always emphasises: "A large part of BALLISTOL's success is down to its committed workforce. Our employees work every day to fulfil the company's high quality standards and develop innovative solutions. Their commitment, expertise and passion are an important success factor for the company." At the same time, Zettler emphasises that not only economic success is important, but that BALLISTOL also takes its social responsibility seriously. Not only have environmental protection and sustainability become increasingly important building blocks, but also the promotion of clubs, athletes and associations, which BALLISTOL has supported with sponsorship for many years. Press spokesman Leif Jacobsen adds: "All these success factors have made BALLISTOL what it is today - a company with tradition, quality and a spirit of innovation. The double anniversary of 120 years of BALLISTOL Universalöl and 150 years of F.W. KLEVER GmbH offers us the opportunity to look back proudly on what we have achieved and to look forward to the coming years with anticipation, because one thing is certain: the history of BALLISTOL is far from over."
