About us

WAGNER has been producing specialized lubricants for over 20 years - including oils, oil additives, greases, etc.  During this long period, WAGNER has focused on improving the ability of oils and additives to reduce wear.  The advancements made by WAGNER have revolutionized the lubricant industry and continue to set quality standards

Wear – The downfall of every machine

Before founding his company, Walter Wagner trained as an industrial and instrument mechanic at a large door manufacturer. After his apprenticeship, he was responsible for the maintenance of modern production facilities and had to face a growing problem- High wear on machines which resulted in high repair costs.

Reason for increased wear?

It turned out that the lubricants being used were the main cause of the wear Mr. Wagner was seeing on the machines he maintained. The oils themselves were of good quality, but they could not sufficiently meet the increased speed and load demands required by modern machines. 

Finding a Solution-Optimizing Lubricants

Walter Wagner took the high quality lubricants being used and searched for ways to optimize them and after countless tests found a solution!  Wagner Spezialschmierstoffe was born and soon met with great success!

Creating New Alternatives for the Automotive Industry

Growing from his focus on industrial oils Mr. Wagner decided to take what he learned about reducing wear and apply it to the automotive industry.   The result was a group of products that brought a level of wear reduction never before seen to passenger cars, heavy trucks, and high performance vehicles.  No matter your vehicle, Wagner has the right oil to provide you the best performance and protection.

New Boom - Classic Cars!

In the early 1990s, a further field of activity was added:  modern oils for older vehicles. The lubricant industry had adapted its oils to modern requirements leaving enthusiasts of classic and vintage vehicles struggling to get the correct oils for their vintage engines, gearboxes, differentials, etc. The oils and lubricants specified in the original manuals no longer existed.  

What next?

Seeing the problem, Walter Wagner worked on the optimization and adaptation of lubricants for the older technology. He developed a complete product range for the maintenance of classic vehicles and specialized in classic car lubricants – “the right lubricant for every vehicle.” Not an easy task with regard to the large number of foreign and domestic car manufacturers.
