History
On November 11, 1918, Quaker Chemical Corporation was founded as QUAKER OIL PRODUCTS CORPORATION. Its business consisted of the manufacture and sale of oil products, chiefly for lubrication and for the textile industry.
On October 20, 1930, Quaker reorganized and changed its name to QUAKER CHEMICAL PRODUCTS CORPORATION. The Company incorporated in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. During this time, Quaker expanded its scope with products for the metalworking industry. In 1947, Quaker entered into the steel market.
In August 1962, QUAKER CHEMICAL PRODUCTS CORPORATION changed its name to QUAKER CHEMICAL CORPORATION to better suit the scope of its activities, which include process engineering and services, as well as the development, manufacture and sale of industrial specialty chemical products. What followed was the beginning of multiple company acquisitions.
At the beginning of the 1960s, Quaker established its first European subsidiary in the Netherlands. Quaker Chemical B.V. in Uithoorn manufactures and markets Quaker products to industries in the EEC. In 1964, Quaker expanded into Europe and formed a U.K. subsidiary Quaker Chemical Limited. Quaker also entered into a joint venture in Australia, Quaker Chemical (Australasia) Pty. Limited. In 1967, Quaker entered into a joint venture in Japan, Nippon Quaker Chemical, Ltd. Finally, 1968 saw Quaker enter into a Joint venture in Mexico, TecniQuimia Mexicana S.A. de C.V.
On May 3, 1972, Quaker completed its Initial Public Offering (IPO) making shares in the Company available to the public for the first time. The Mid-1970s saw the launch of the innovative QUINTOLUBRIC® polyol ester line of fluids. In June 1978, Quaker made its first major U.S. acquisition - Selby, Battersby & Co., a manufacturer of flooring systems for industrial, commercial and institutional buildings, and marine decking materials.
In 1987, Quaker enters the aerospace coating market with acquisition of AC Products, Inc. in California.
The 1990s saw Quaker expand into markets in France, China and Brazil and celebrate two milestones. First, in 1993, Quaker celebrated 75 years in business. The second saw Quaker file an application to list its common shares for trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the ticker symbol KWR.. First NYSE trade occurs on August 23, 1996 for 100 shares. The decade was capped off with Quaker entering into a joint venture in India, Quaker Chemical India Limited.
On April 29, 2002, Quaker’s new corporate worldwide headquarters opened in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania - USA.
In 2002, Quaker acquired multiple assets including Quima International, LLC (forming Q2 Technologies, LLC), Epmar Corporation and Quaker Chemical South Africa (Pty) Ltd. Throughout the first decade of the new millennium, Quaker continued with additional strategic acquisitions.
In 2010, Quaker entered the motorsports world by forming a partnership with the Sarah Fisher Hartman Racing (“SFHR”) team to develop new greases for IndyCar. In September 2012, Quaker debuted its new integrated marketing campaign “It’s what’s inside that counts” encompassing an updated brand identity, logo and tagline. The following year, Quaker launched a new website. In April 2014, Quaker launches CoolanTool™, a mobile application that facilitates the monitoring processes of metalworking fluids and organization of the data results in a number of ways.
From 2010 to the present, Quaker has continued its organic growth as well as made many global acquisitions including companies in the hot rolling business, specialty greases, surface treatments and die casting lubricants.
