Tradition in lubricants since 1868
The history of our company dates back to 1868.
Clement Leprince and commerce councillor Wilhelm Siveke founded a factory for machine greases and machine oils and developed the brand "Leprinxol".
1901 was the breakthrough year for “Herforder Maschinenfett und Ölfabrik Leprince & Siveke“ in Herford: Dr. Wilhelm Normann joined the company in 1900 and found a method to cure greases which created the basis for the production of margarine. This 3-phase-system from liquid, firm catalyst to gaseous hydrogen is Normann’s sole and unquestionable inventor’s property and helped the margarine industry to enormous profits, but at this time its creator already had to struggle with economic problems.
In following years, the company converted to a corporation. In spring of 1922 Normann accepted the offer from the successors to Leprince & Siveke to join the management team. In the same year 5,000 stocks were transferred per 1,000 DM. Today the company produces lubricants, machine oils among other products under the name of Leprinxol GmbH.
The cleaning agent "Fewa" is another product developed by Dr. Normann. Normann was then honoured by lending of the Liebig commemorative coin. On August 19th, 1972, a school was name after Dr. Wilhelm Normann.
