Pakelo Lubricants
THE HISTORY OF PAKELO LUBRICANTS
90 years of Made in Italy
engine oils (and much more)
If today we are a Made in Italy independent lubricant manufacturer, with business in Italy and +40 foreign markets, we owe it to the people who made Pakelo grow up during these years.
First of all Italo Rino Polacco (the founder) and his passion for engines, forwarded to his sons and daughter Elio, Cecilia and Giuseppe who, driven by their entrepreneurship in 1960s turned the family business, a small shop selling oils, in something more: a Company that produces 100% Made in Italy lubricants.
Here is the million-dollar question we are always asked to: what does “Pakelo” word mean?
Actually, legend says that as a little child one of the founder’s grandaughters couldn’t spell its own surname “Polacco” properly. Everytime she sorts of bubbled “Pachelo”. Truth to be told, the story of the Pakelo name is pretty mysterious and we generally classify it as “family secret”.

Shell
THE SHELL BRAND
For more than 100 years the word Shell, our pecten emblem and distinctive red and yellow colours have visualised the Shell brand and promoted our values and the quality of our products and services all over the world.
The word Shell first appeared in 1891, as the trademark for kerosene shipped to the Far East by Marcus Samuel and Company. This small London business dealt originally in antiques, curios and oriental seashells. These became so popular – the Victorians used them to decorate trinket boxes in particular – that soon they formed the basis of the company’s profitable import and export trade with the Far East.
The word was elevated to corporate status in 1897, when Samuel formed the Shell Transport and Trading Company. The first logo in 1901 was a mussel shell, but by 1904 a scallop shell or pecten emblem had been introduced to give a visual representation of the corporate and brand name.
When the Royal Dutch Petroleum Company and Shell Transport and Trading merged in 1907, the latter’s brand name and symbol (Shell and the pecten) became the short-form name and emblem of the new Royal Dutch Shell Group. And so it has remained ever since.
The form of the Shell emblem has changed gradually over the years in line with trends in graphic design. The current emblem was introduced in 1971. Thirty years on it stands the test of time as one of the world’s most recognised symbols.
