Where They Came From

Mr. Joseph Bijur, who had an idea for a central lubricating system for automobiles, founded Bijur Lubricating Corporation in New York City in 1923. Among the prestigious nameplates that adopted the Bijur system were Nash, Auburn, Stutz, Rolls Royce, Lancia, and Dusenberg. By the 1930s, Bijur was expanding its lubrication system offerings to include a wide variety of industrial machinery. As business and prestige grew, it became necessary to expand production capacity, and the company established its principle manufacturing facility in Bennington, Vermont. Bijur boomed, and in 1963 set up its European Headquarters in Paris, France. Since then, our international growth has continued. In 1995, Bijur Lubricating Corporation was acquired and became part of Vesper Corporation's Industrial Products Group.

Serving Everywhere that Lubrication Is Needed

Today, Bijur has multi-national headquarters and distribution centres in every developed nation, and provides systems for virtually every industry that requires lubricating. Chances are, we can solve your lubricating problems, too!
