Lamor Slickbar celebrating 50 years as world leaders in oil spill control technology

Slickbar Products Corporation is very proud to be celebrating its 50th year in the oil spill industry.

Slickbar traces its long history through Neirad Industries, a plastics research and development company owned by Millard F. Smith. In the late 1950's, Mr. Smith developed an oil spill containment boom and sold the first oil boom system in 1960. Since that time, numerous improvements in designs have occurred, and additional new products have been introduced to the product line which broadens the oil spill containment and cleanup product line. In 1969, Neirad Industries changed its name to Slickbar, Inc. When Mr. Smith retired in 1987, Slickbar Inc. changed its name to Slickbar Products Corporation with new ownership.

Through the past 50 years, several important additions have taken place; e.g. the purchase of JBF Environmental, developers of the famous JBF Dynamic Incline Plane (DIP) skimmers and vessels and also the addition of Corrosion Control International, manufacturers of advanced corrosion protection solutions, such as the Retrowrap system. The most significant event has been the merger of Slickbar Products with Lamor Group in Porvoo, Finland in 2008. This unique union of the two great groups of dedicated, experienced people allows us to widen and expand our blended technology base and serve our growing customer network even better. The two brands, Slickbar and Lamor, are now united and the combination of both offers so many more creative and effective solutions.

What has remained constant has been our dedication to develop effective and useful technologies for protecting and preserving the environment and striving to provide outstanding service to our customers, which we look forward to continuing for another 50 years.
