The founding story of Liqui Moly is truly unique. The founder of the future company, Hans Henle, went to the store of the US Army, which worked in post-war Germany. There, his attention was attracted by a special additive in aviation engine oil, which was called Liqui Moly (liquid molybdenum in translation from English). The essence of the work of the mixture based on molybdenum disulfide was to protect the engine in case of complete loss of oil. They created this tool for military needs - when the enemy pierced the oil tank, the pilots had time and the opportunity to hold out until the landing without losing the engine and aircraft. Naturally, in peacetime, this additive was no longer so popular and maybe we would not have known about it if not for the entrepreneurial spirit of Hans Henle
He very quickly assessed the prospects for the use of such an additive, in 1955 he bought the rights to the Liqui Moly brand and a patent for the use of molybdenum disulfide in additives. And in 1957 he founded his own company Liqui Moly GmbH.
The company has been selling four products for about ten years, all based on molybdenum disulfide. It was Kfz-1 engine oil additive, Kfz-2 gear oil additive, Kfz-3 universal grease and Kfz-4 assembly paste.
Then the company began to develop in several directions. On the one hand, the assortment was expanded with products that have nothing to do with lubricants. On the other hand, the company began to actively work for export. By the way, today about half of all production goes outside Germany. And the full range of the company has about 4000 articles, largely creating Liqui Moly the credibility of the supplier "everything from one source". And most of these products were created in their own laboratory. Many of them are together with the engineers of the automakers. By the way, from 2011 to 2017, Liqui Moly received the Best Brand in the Lubricants Category award (according to the German magazines Auto Bild, Auto Zeitung, Auto Motor und Sport and Motor Klassik). All the company's products are certified according to the DIN EN quality standard. ISO 9001: 2015, environmental standard DIN ISO 14001 and energy saving standard ISO 50001: 2011 In 2018 all Liqui Moly shares were sold to the Wurth Group. It is a large international concern whose main business is the direct sale of fasteners.
