Motul Lubricants

Motul is a world-class French company specializing in the formulation, production, and distribution of high-tech engine lubricants and industrial fluids. Since its inception in the 19th century, the brand has been a pioneer in the industry, famously launching the world's first multigrade oil in 1953 and the first 100% synthetic oil in 1971.

The brand's manufacturing remains deeply rooted in France, with its primary production facility located in Vaires-sur-Marne. However, to meet global demand, Motul operates several blending plants and logistics hubs across Europe, Asia, and the Americas. This ensures that their specialized products, ranging from passenger car motor oils to heavy-duty industrial lubricants, are available in over 160 countries.

Motul is historically significant for its independence and technical innovation. Originally starting as a brand under Swan & Finch in the United States, it became a fully French entity in 1957. Today, it continues to operate as an independent international group, maintaining a strong presence in professional motorsports as a technical partner to many racing teams.
