Castrol is a globally recognized brand that specializes in industrial and automotive lubricants, offering a wide range of oils, greases, and similar products for most lubrication applications. Founded in the United Kingdom over a century ago, the brand has grown from a specialized family business into a cornerstone of the global energy sector.

Currently, Castrol operates as a major subsidiary of BP (British Petroleum), which manages the brand's global distribution and manufacturing. Because of its massive scale, Castrol products are manufactured in dozens of facilities worldwide to serve local markets efficiently.

The brand's ownership has transitioned through significant industrial shifts, moving from its original founder, Charles Wakefield, to Burmah Oil, and finally becoming part of the BP portfolio in 2000. It remains headquartered in the UK under BP's stewardship, maintaining its legacy as a leader in high-performance lubricant technology.
