Kompressol has been successfully active in the lubricants market for over 100 years, supplying both the automotive sector and large areas of industry and agriculture. The grandiose victory of Rudolf Caracciola in the legendary Mercedes-Benz Type S in the opening race at the Nürburgring in 1927 is a special milestone in the company's history. Even today, Mercedes-Benz Classic still uses the special castor-oil engine oil in the vintage Silver Arrows that was used back then.
