When the Rocket Chemical Company first started, it took the lead workers 40 attempts before they were able to create the perfect formula for the WD-40 lubricant. But once they did, they knew they had gold on their hands. The formula has stayed the same since then, so if you are looking for proven quality, you cannot go wrong with WD-40.
The company was renamed WD-40 Company, Inc. in 1969.
