Super Lube

What Super Lube does

Super Lube, founded in 1980 as Synco Chemical Corporation by Sal and Hilda Randisi and headquartered at 24 DaVinci Drive, Bohemia, New York, manufactures premium synthetic lubricants sold under the Super Lube brand. The product line spans five families — greases (Multi-Purpose Synthetic Grease, Brake Grease, High Temperature Grease, Nuclear Grade Grease, O-Ring Grease, Railroad Grease, Silicone Grease, Engine Assembly Grease), oils (Multi-Use Synthetic Lightweight Oil, Gear Oil, Air Tool Pneumatic Lubricant, Low Temperature Oil, Silicone Oil, Railroad Switchplate Oil), aerosols (Multi-Purpose, Dri-Film, Silicone), corrosion inhibitors (Anti-Corrosion and Connector Gel, Anti-Seize, Metal Protectant), and specialty products (Fire Resistant Hydraulic Fluid, Heat Sink Compound, Sportsman's Kit) — totaling roughly 140+ SKUs. Core technology centers on proprietary Syncolon® (PTFE) additives and includes regulatory-grade formulations for food-contact (NSF H1, NSF H3), religious-compliance (Kosher, Halal), automotive (NLGI GC-LB), and nuclear applications (GE D50YP12 specification), supported by ISO 9001 quality management certification since 1996 and Ford Q1 Preferred Quality Status recognition in 1994.

The company serves eleven primary verticals — Transportation, Heavy Industry, Food & Beverage, Energy & Utilities, Railroad, Hardware, Marine, Agriculture, Mining & Construction, Locksmiths, and Sporting Goods & Outdoor — with the first three identified as primary segments. Syncolon-based chemistries deliver wide-temperature (-45°F to 500°F+) performance, water resistance, and multi-surface compatibility for industrial maintenance and food-processing environments. Distribution is conducted exclusively through a global network of brick-and-mortar distributors and selected "preferred" online partners; Super Lube does not list on Amazon, eBay, or Walmart.com, and also operates direct-to-consumer through its own website with phone and contact-form support.

Corporate ownership has shifted through three transactions since 2024: Super Lube was acquired by Kano Laboratories LLC (maker of Kroil) in 2024, Kano Labs was subsequently acquired by private equity firm L Squared Capital Partners in 2024, and Kano Labs acquired CAIG Laboratories (creator of DeoxIT) in early 2026. As a result, Super Lube now operates as a division within a PE-backed, multi-brand lubricants platform alongside sibling brands Kroil, DeoxIT, and Triboscience & Engineering. Revenue, headcount, and pricing are not publicly disclosed.
