Every brand has a story, but not all earn a national spotlight. Berryman Products recently did, with International Business Times publishing an article titled “Berryman Products Exemplifies Over a Century of Commitment to Innovation, Family, and Uncompromising Quality.” 

For us, coverage like this isn’t simply about making headlines. It reflects the same trust drivers and mechanics place in our products daily, whether it’s a can of B-12 Chemtool® poured into an engine or a cleaner pulled from a shop shelf.

From the days when Pappy Berryman was mixing formulas in hotel bathtubs to the wide range of additives, lubricants, and maintenance solutions on shelves today, our path has always been tied to the people who use what we make.

Berryman Products’ recognition as featured in IBT underscores what has always set us apart: innovation, quality, and a bond of trust that has lasted generations.

This Story Includes You 

International Business Times profiling us at Berryman Products shows that a family business founded in 1918 still matters in today’s dynamic automotive space. 

We take pride in highlighting that this recognition came not from chasing every new trend, but from holding firm to a simple idea: innovation only works when quality comes first. That principle is why Berryman products continue to earn trust as dependable tools for keeping vehicles running strong — from everyday garages to national recognition.

The Values You Can Continue To Count On 

The IBT article pulled back to where it all began. In 1918, Waldo “Pappy” Berryman made an unusual trade: a prize stallion for the rights to a patented tire-sealant formula. What might have looked like a gamble at the time became the first step in a company that would endure for generations.

Pappy refined the formula himself, often in makeshift conditions. He mixed batches in hotel bathtubs, filled orders out of a truck, and even placed his own face on every label as a personal guarantee to customers. 

Through the Great Depression, World War II, and countless economic shifts, one principle never changed for Pappy: quality first, no matter the cost.

That principle continues to guide us. The dedication that carried Berryman through the toughest chapters of the past century still lives in every formula today. Each can and bottle represents the same spirit of reliability and care that has earned customer trust for generations.

Leadership Rooted in Tradition 

IBT also turned its attention to leadership. In 1970, the Blankenship family purchased Berryman Products and deliberately chose to preserve the name and identity that customers already trusted. Maurice Blankenship carried the company forward without stripping away the character that had defined it since Pappy’s day.

That approach continues with his son, Beau. Unlike many executives who inherit a business, Beau’s connection runs deep. He grew up in and around the company, his childhood marked by school projects that drew on chemistry experiments and weekends spent observing the people who built Berryman’s products. 

Many of those employees stayed with the company for decades, shaping Beau’s sense of loyalty and respect. With leadership shaped by these experiences, the company remains guided by people who understand the work, value the team, and see quality as non-negotiable.

Proof That Quality Gets Noticed

As featured in IBT, Berryman Products demonstrates that solutions trusted in everyday garages are equally valued in the broader business world.

Coverage like this underscores the value of choosing products built on consistency and care. Each time you reach for Berryman, you’re choosing a standard that has earned far beyond the shop floor. 

This moment belongs as much to our customers as it does to us. The continued trust placed in Berryman is what led to being highlighted in outlets like International Business Times, and it’s the same trust that has sustained more than 100+ years of automotive innovation — with plenty more still ahead.

Looking on the Road Ahead With You 

Berryman has weathered every major shift in the automotive world: carburetors giving way to fuel injection, hybrids entering the market, and now, the rise of electric vehicles. That ability to adapt has never been about chasing change for its own sake, but about making sure drivers and mechanics always have solutions that work.

Whether you’re restoring a classic or servicing the latest hybrid, we’ll continue developing products that meet the challenge. Our goal is to stay relevant in an industry that never stops moving forward while holding firm to the values that made us who we are.

That balance of honoring tradition while preparing for what’s next is our promise. Berryman will remain a trusted partner, providing solutions that evolve with your needs.
