In 1937, Fiske Brothers Refining Company acquired the LUBRIPLATE Corporation from Robert L. Watts, the inventor of LUBRIPLATE Lubricants. Mr. Watts had combined a calcium thickening agent with mineral oil, zinc-oxide and other compounds to form a grease which prevented wear and corrosion like none other on the market at the time. Prior to the acquisition, Mr. Watts, in 1933, patented his three original products "LUBRIPLATE Light," "LUBRIPLATE Medium" and "LUBRIPLATE Heavy" based on the use of zinc-oxide as the anti-wear additive and which gave these greases their distinctive white color. Those three greases are still a major portion of the LUBRIPLATE product range in 2019.

In the 21st century, LUBRIPLATE Lubricants Company produces a full range of synthetic/long life lubricants, petroleum-based lubricants and Eco-Green lubricants. The Company's LUBRIPLATE Brand NSF/H-1 registered food grade lubricants are world renown for quality, durability, varied packaging and availability through LUBRIPLATE's vast worldwide distribution network.
