History
Since 1932, BESTOLIFE® has been the most trusted name in the petroleum industry as a manufacturer of high-performance premium thread compounds for every drilling situation. BESTOLIFE® founder I.H. Grancell created the very first thread compound to combat galling, seizing, and down-hole makeup. Grancell, who made the formula in a dishpan, called his invention BESTOLIFE No. 270® and it quickly became the premier thread compound in the oil patch. In fact, BESTOLIFE No. 270® is still available for purchase today.
Throughout our history, BESTOLIFE® has demonstrated our founder’s spirit of innovation by staying in tune with our customers’ needs and creating specific solutions formulated to withstand the most extreme conditions on earth.
