Jet fighter squadron commander LT Col. Albert J. Amatuzio has witnessed synthetic lubricants in action. Because of the three extraordinary performance characteristics, these oils are used exclusively in jet engines. These characteristics are the ability to withstand lengthy and rigorous engine operations without a chemical breakdown, the ability to dependably function at severe temperature extremes, and the ability to reduce wear and friction on engine components.

Al Amatuzio realized that these same advantages would be invaluable in a combustion engine, he formulated the first synthetic motor oil in the world to meet API service requirements for an automobile engine. This new lubricant would perform like none other before it. In 1972, when a can of AMSOIL 10W 40 first showed up in the market, it started a new industry. AMSOIL synthetic oils have redefined the performance possibilities of modern engines and machinery and expanded the boundaries of lubrication science.

Because of his belief the consumers would respond to a superior product, his commitment to high quality, and his desire for technical innovation, AMSOIL INC. was founded by Al Amatuzio. ANSOILINC has remained true to these ideals and its history is a checklist of revolutionary products that have withstood the tests of time. AL Amatuzio is the pioneer in the synthetic lubrication industry. AMSOIL is committed to excellence and AL Amatuzio has the vision and energy to continue to drive the company forward and it was all inspired by aerospace technology

Al Amatuzio was inducted to the Lubricants World Hall of Fame which served as the ultimate tribute to the man who started it all. He is one of the giants who have shaped the industry. Al Amatuzio had a belief that consumers would respond to his superior products, his commitment to higher quality, and his desire for technical innovation which remain at the center of the AMSOIL philosophy.

Under the leadership of Dean Alexander, CFO and Executive Vice President, and President Albert J. Amatuzio, and Alan Amatuzio, AMSOIL has remained the leader in synthetic lubrication technology.

AMSOIL formulates numerous synthetic lubricating oils for all types of gear and engine applications, such as those for severe operating conditions and specialized vehicles. Also, AMSOIL has developed filtrations systems, sophisticated fuel additives, and other companion products that extend and supplement lubricant performance. All of these products are distributed through a network of independent dealers all around the world. This complete line of quality products is recognized by numerous industrial administrators, fleet managers, and private motorists as the most cost effective and best selection for prolonging equipment and vehicle life, reducing maintenance, and increasing engine performance which is making history with synthetics

The AMSOIL primary distribution center, manufacturing plant, and corporate headquarters are located in Superior, Wisconsin and have numerous regional warehouses strategically located overseas and throughout North America. These facilities cover a total of about 700,000 sq.ft.

The lubricant production plant is state of the art and contains packaging equipment, high speed bottling lines, bulk storage and materials facilities. The primary warehouse serves as the hub of a worldwide distribution network of totes, drums, cases, and bottles that bear the AMSOIL label are shipped all around the world. The plant’s capacity is designed to meet projected market demands far into the future.

The AMSOIL administrative functions are centrally outfitted and located with the latest in information and communications processing equipment. The entire complex is staffed by a well disciplined, knowledgeable, and cooperative team of about 300 employees.
