Product news: dr Wack cleaning and care products: clean by tradition

11 October 2018 by Michael Faiss

Company portrait: Dr. OK Wack Chemie GmbH - the full name of the care specialist for bicycles, cars and motorcycles, is certainly not the catchiest company name in the bicycle business, but it symbolizes one of the cornerstones of the manufacturer from Ingolstadt: The bond with tradition and the reflection on a company history that is meanwhile goes back almost half a century. Who the name Dr. Wack doesn't say anything: The F100 cleaning and care products come from this company and have become a permanent fixture in the workshops of many bikers.

Unsurprisingly, the company inherits its name from its founder, Dr. Oskar Kurt Wack, who steered the fortunes of the manufacturer from its foundation in 1975 until 2012. Meanwhile, his son Dr. Harald Wack at the helm and continues the successful family business. Today is dr. Wack is one of the most successful manufacturers in the field of care and cleaning technology - for end customers and industry alike - but right at the beginning there was an apparently unspectacular product: In 1976 the success story of the company from Ingolstadt began with the P21S. It was the first special rim cleaner ever and recently celebrated its 40th anniversary.

The products of the sub-brand F100 should by now be well known to many bikers.

The portfolio has grown steadily since then, and since the mid-80s they have also offered cleaning solutions for bicycles, all of which go by the name of F100. Whether for bicycles, motorbikes or cars: the principle when developing new products at Dr. Wack is always the same. Either you want to offer a fundamentally new product or a product that is significantly better in terms of performance than previously available on the market - not just "just a bicycle cleaner". In order to meet this self-imposed requirement in everyday practice, the development department is asked above all; The bare figures already show that great importance is attached to this. Approximately 20% of the employees at Dr. Wack is employed in the development department - that is unique in this industry.

We are particularly proud of Dr. Wack the fact that all products on offer are 100% made in Germany. From the first ideas and tests in the laboratory to the final development, mixing, production and sales, all work steps take place at the company headquarters in Ingolstadt. Not only regional production, but also sustainability and environmental protection are high in the specification: All products are mixed from a variety of different "ingredients" - 100% wastewater-free. There is therefore no chemical reaction that would produce exhaust gases, toxic by-products or the like. Now who thinks? "Anyone can mix together!" is way off the mark: In the meantime, Dr. Wack over 40 patents on a wide variety of products.



The fact that you are convinced of your own work is emphasized by Dr. Wack also with a comprehensive money-back guarantee: If you are not satisfied with a product, you get your money back without any ifs or buts.
