American-Made Finds
One maker's story, the brands newly listed here, and a few US-made picks, every Thursday.
Wolf's Head was founded in 1879 and makes the products listed here in Tampa, FL. The site lists 5 verified American-made Wolf's Head products.
From Oil City crude to the Port of Tampa
Wolf's Head says it has made lubricants since 1879 and that it started in and around Oil City, Pennsylvania, as part of the original "Pennsylvania Crude" lube oil trade.
The oil is no longer refined from Pennsylvania crude. The company's history page says today's products are blended in a production facility on a deep-water dock in the Port of Tampa, Florida. Its headquarters is at 1601 McCloskey Blvd. in Tampa, the same address used by AOCUSA, a grease maker and lubricant blender that Wolf's Head links to from its site.
Blended in Florida, from parts sourced worldwide
The Wolf's Head homepage lists "products made in the USA" among its main claims. The motor oils, compressor oil, Super Universal synthetic transmission fluid and Red Grease NLGI #2 we list all fall under that claim, and the transmission fluid and Red Grease listings also say Made in USA in their titles.
The company is open that the dock location lets it bring in "components from all parts of the globe." Read that as blending and packaging in Tampa, with base oils and additives that may come from overseas. Wolf's Head does not say which components are imported.
