History

Established in 1977.

Finol Oils formed over 35 years ago in 1977, by PJ O’Loughlin & John Purcell. They won a bid for the distribution business of Petrofina for the Fina range of Lubricants. By 1986 after working in the company for nearly 10 years Dominick Purcell was in a position to buy PJ O’Loughlin & John Purcell out when they decided to retire. At this stage the company changed the way it operated and worked on setting up a distribution network and also started selling its own brand of lubricants under the Finol brand, whilst continuing to sell the Fina brand and eventually the Total and Elf lubricant brands. Over the next few years the company started to grow and by 1990 the decision was made to move to larger premises in Crumlin where the company still operates today. These larger premises allowed the company to hold a larger quantity of bulk stock, which meant more product could be imported in bulk by tankers and then packaged here in Ireland. In 2011, Finol added the Actioil brand to our range.
