History

RAVENOL is the trade mark of Ravensberger Schmierstoffvertrieb GmbH. It was founded in 1946 in the small town of Werther in Westphalia by Hans Triebel; the company initially limited itself to the manufacture and trade of single-grade engine oils as well as various technical cleaning products. In 1964, with the modernisation and expansion of the company, multi-grade oils of SAE classes 10W-30 and 20W-50 were added to the range. From then on, care products and cleaners for bicycles and motorcycles were produced. Both the car care product range was steadily expanded and, in parallel, the lubricant offering was extended to semi- and fully synthetic oils. In the 1990s, continuous expansion began. According to the company, since 1946 its development, production and sales activities have been continuously expanded. In motorsport, a rally team under RAVENOL advertising started in the German Rally Trophy with a Mitsubishi Lancer Turbo as early as the 1980s. For the 2004 season RAVENOL entered the German Production Car Championship, laying the foundation for the success of 'RAVENOL Motorsport'. One year later it participated as partner of the Ford-Hotfiel team in the FIA World Touring Car Championship (WTCC), its first international competition. It has remained loyal to touring car racing over the years and has long served as 'Audi Sport Customer Racing Official Supplier', technically supporting the Audi RS3 LMS TCR.
