Charles Cheers Wakefield founded his own company in 1899. But only ten years later he decided to add castor oil to motor oil, and thus Castrol was born. After more than 100 years, the company has become part of the British Petroleum and is among the TOP-3 oil producers in the world. The business is represented in 46 countries with 7,500 employees. Castrol can be called one of the most popular and most well-known brands in the world of motor oils. The company's slogan “It's more than just oil. It's liquid engineering”.
