Pen1One exists since 1986 and originated in a Belgian small garagebox under the company name JS Oil. The main company activity in the past was sales of additives and existing oil brands such as Sunoco and Pennzoil. These U.S. brands became more and more popular in the Belgian market during 1990s. However 2003, these American brands disappeared from the local market and it was the perfect timing to expand the existing own brand Pen1One with a wide product range. This Pen1One line assured local customers to have qualitative products available, without losing market share. The creation of the new brand image gave a boost to international interest and Pen1One was firstly sold in various countries abroad.
