Silca Bicycle Lubricants

Silca is a legendary name in the cycling world, originally founded in Italy in 1917 by Felice Sacchi. For nearly a century, the brand was synonymous with high-end Italian craftsmanship, particularly known for its durable and repairable floor pumps. In 2013, the brand underwent a significant transformation when it was acquired by Josh Poertner, a veteran of the cycling industry and former technical director at Zipp. Poertner moved the company's headquarters and manufacturing operations to Indianapolis, Indiana, USA, where the brand began focusing on high-tech innovations including 3D-printed materials and advanced lubricants.

Today, Silca's lubricant line represents the cutting edge of drivetrain efficiency. Their products, such as the Synergetic and Secret Chain Blend, are developed with a focus on reducing friction and increasing longevity using high-purity chemicals and advanced manufacturing techniques. While the brand honors its Italian heritage in design philosophy and aesthetics, the engineering and production of its high-performance lubricants are primarily centered in the United States, positioning Silca as a premier boutique brand in the global performance cycling market.
