Fuchs-Silkolene
is one of the world's largest ranges of specialist motorcycle and
motorsport lubricants, developed on the race track to ensure
ultimate performance and protection.
Originally known as Dalton and Company after its founder, the
Company changed its name to Silkolene Lubricants in the early 80’s
in recognition of the strength of the brand name. In 1989 the
Company became a member of the German Fuchs Group, a major
international force in advanced lubrication technology, and now
operates as Fuchs Lubricants (UK) plc with Silkolene being the
Group’s motorcycle range brand name.
Historically the Silkolene brand gained international status with
specialist oils for engines as diverse as the Spitfire’s Merlin and
involvement with Concorde’s development. Silkolene worked for many
years with the United States Airforce on a technical collaboration
programme for strategic purposes. The project involved many aspects
of synthetic lubrication technology and saw the Company become a
leader in the field.
