Minterbrook Oyster Company, located in Gig Harbor, Washington on the Puget Sound had a specific challenge – they needed lubricant products that would meet severe weather and temperature conditions and still be environmentally sensitive.
In 2003, Erika Wiksten, general manager of Minterbrook, began using Petro-Canada’s PURITY FG Grease and AW Hydraulic Fluids in her production facility, which depends on constant-use under high grit and grime conditions.
She is very happy with the protection it provides from wear and corrosion, especially since Minterbrook’s equipment operates in salt water, sand and in a wide range of temperature and weather conditions.
