Founded in 1948 by Ellis Christian Lenz, a dedicated rifleman and firearms historian, Clenzoil has established a legacy of excellence in gun maintenance. Initially recognized in 1950 through rigorous NRA tests, Clenzoil was featured in the American Rifleman Magazine, highlighting its efficacy as a gun cleaner and steel rustproofer. Originally a local secret among firearm enthusiasts, it garnered a cult-like following due to its unmatched quality.
In 2015, James Albritton, an Air Force Veteran and passionate entrepreneur, acquired Clenzoil, recognizing its potential to resonate on a global scale. His vision for expansion revitalized the brand, now known as Clenzoil Unlimited, aiming to elevate it to unprecedented heights. Under new leadership, the company intensified its commitment to integrity, innovation, and support for Veterans, fostering significant growth.
Clenzoil's transformation has led to a diverse product catalog, now featuring over 100 items, extending beyond the firearms industry into fishing, marine, and various other maintenance applications. Once a modest brand with only eight SKUs, Clenzoil has evolved into a symbol of excellence and trust for outdoor enthusiasts worldwide. As a trusted companion for adventure, Clenzoil invites you to join in celebrating and preserving the spirit of the great outdoors.
