In 1904, the Whitmore Manufacturing Co. was tasked with developing a lubricant for the center pivot bearings and the roller bearings of the emergency dams the Panama Canal, which was then under construction. The company, which had only been in business for 11 years at that point, developed a product to meet the harsh conditions the dam equipment would regularly face. The company’s products were also used to lubricate the equipment used to excavate the canal.
Whitmore’s lubricants proved to be so successful that, following the canal project, the company broadened the markets for its products to global mining and industrial operations.
