 Brewer/bottler #12912 | | | Name | The Lubal Manufacturing & Distributing Company |
| | Address | 375 West Rich Street |
| | | | | | | | Extra info | In 1932, The Lubal Manufacturing & Distributing Company began operations at 375 West Rich
Street, and this small manufacturing venture would remain on the premises for the next three
decades as it took over both buildings and grew to national recognition. Lubal Inc. went on to
acquire ownership of 373 West Rich Street in 1947.
Also referred to as Lubal Inc., this Columbus-based company manufactured lubricants for industrial and commercial diesel engines.
With a focus in the marine and aviation industries, Lubal also produced lubricants for stationary engines used in the generation of electricity. Among the company’s contribution to industrial innovation were the fuel oil additive products “Lubal D”, “Lubal Super D”, “Lubal A”, and “Lubal K”. Vintage (c. 1930s) packaging for “Aviation Lubal K” states the product was
“Formulated to keep airplane engines internally clean of sludge, varnish and gum.”
Details on the manufacturing processes of these products are unknown due to their patents and copyrights, but research shows that this is the only facility in which Lubal products were made and stored.
Competition pressure from large corporate manufacturers such as Standard Oil is believed to have driven Lubal Inc. toward a slow degeneration. In 1963, Lubal Inc. sold the dual property to E.C. Harriman in 1963, former president of Lubal Inc. Harriman then transferred the property to John J. Harriman in 1966. |
