Liqui Moly GmbH is a German company specializing in oils, lubricants and additives.
Contents
Founding
Liqui Moly GmbH was founded in 1957 in Ulm on the river Danube. The patent for production of molybdenum disulfide formed the basis for the company. This additive based on liquified molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) was the company's first product and gave the company its name.
Products
Liqui Moly's main product is motor oil with MoS2 but there are also other lubricants with MoS2 and the additive MoS2 itself to be added by the end user during oil changes. Molybdenum disulfide enhances the lubrication quality of the oil and offers emergency operating features under harsh conditions. It can be added to motor oils and to non-motor oils including gear oil, transmission oil or differentials oils. From this one additive, an entire range was developed. Today it numbers in excess of 4000 products: Engine and gear oils, additives and vehicle care products, workshop equipment and service products. LIQUI MOLY products have since been used in industrial settings and, for example, in generators used in windmills. In Germany, LIQUI MOLY is one of the leading producers of engine oils and is the undisputed market leader when it comes to additives. Germany remains the main marketplace, but international demands are constantly increasing. LIQUI MOLY products are now sold in 120 countries.T
