Millers Oils was built on a promise of uncompromising quality.
In 1888, John Watson Miller purchased the business for £265 and renamed it J.W. Miller & Son. His promise to customers was clear:
“The quality of my oil will be rigidly adhered to.”
A legacy we continue to honour to this day.
Our headquarters remain in Brighouse, West Yorkshire. For well over a century, Millers Oils has worked through economic shifts, industry changes, and global expansion. Our expertise has driven innovation across multiple sectors, from developing pioneering long-life lubricants in the early 1900s to advancing modern technologies such as NANODRIVE.
At every stage, we’ve combined technical excellence with lasting partnerships, ensuring Millers Oils remains a trusted name in performance and reliability worldwide.
