Suppliers in Fluids & Lubricants

During the late 19th century, Frederick Sondheimer, forseeing the need for specal lubricants for the industrial growth taking place around Long Island City, established the BLACK BEAR COMPANY, INC. in early 1888. In 1937, during the depth of the depression, when BLACK BEAR COMPANY was acquired by Rowell A Schleicher, the Company turned its attention to recession-proof needs of state and government agencies. During World War II, BLACK BEAR COMPANY concentrated its progressive technology on military challenges -- solving problems for Army searchlights, Air Force bomb bay doors and creating highly effective corrosion preventatives for military aircraft -- applications which still find new applications to this day. After World War II BLACK BEAR shifted its technology to the construction industry which was booming due to returning servicemen's housing demands. New lubricants were created such as track roller grease, non-leaking gear lubricants, non-dripping heat resistant grease and pioneering firsts in multi-purpose gear oils and multi-purpose greases. Not neglecting its industrial customers, special micro-switch greases and metal forming lubricants were also formulated to meet customers needs.

"The 1920's was a very prosperous time in the United States. Business was good and there were many opportunities for people to improve their lives economically. Harry Lichten was a very successful chemical salesman during this time period in Chicago. One day he decided that he wanted to open his own business. He figured with all of his contacts that he would probably be able to succeed. Thus, a new company was formed-The Industrial Paint and Varnish Company. The year was 1928. The Industrial Paint and Varnish Company manufactured a wide variety of products including paints, caulks, varnishes, tile cements, etc. Over a period of years the company also drifted into the automotive field and manufactured many outstanding products including Black Swan ""Stop Leak"" (a car radiator stop-leak). This product was extremely popular because car radiators were not manufactured as well as they are today. With all the leaking radiators this product was very successful. ( Note - this product is still in the line today and is call Powdered Boiler Stop-Leak.) One day a customer asked Harry if he could manufacture a putty that would not stain. Harry responded positively even though he had no idea if he would be able to do it. This was during the depression and business was terrible so he was willing to try anything.

Elba Lubrication Inc., USA has been created by a group of enthusiastic people who have been working for major oil companies for many years. More and more they didn't feel comfortable with the culture within these companies; slow, large and very impersonal. During the last couple of years major merges between oil companies have made things even worse. Very often the contact with the customer appears to be little or even doesn't exist. These large oil companies reduced their R&D facilities to a minimum which have resulted in no further development of products and applications. At Elba Lubrication our focus is on building the highest quality lubricants and backing it up with uncompromising customer and technical services. We are recognized as one of the best leader in synthetic lubricant and our product of over 540 products can service almost any industrial application.
