WD-40 Company

We’re more than just a company that sells products

We are a tribe of passionate, committed professionals, all dedicated to the same goal: to create positive lasting memories in every interaction we have. Our company is headquartered in San Diego, California, where it was founded in 1953. However, our small but mighty tribe of less than 600 members live and work in 15 countries, speak more than 7 languages and are located in many different time zones. We live under the kitchen sinks, in the garages and toolboxes of the world and have loyal end-users and dedicated fans in more than 176 countries and territories worldwide who rely on our portfolio of well-known and popular brands to solve their everyday problems.

Our Purpose

At WD-40 Company, we know that purpose mobilizes people in a way that pursuing profits alone never will. The reason for this is simple. A company with a clear sense of purpose ignites the passion of its employees and inspires the trust of its customers. We’re very proud that the blue and yellow can with the little red top has been leaving people with positive lasting memories since 1953.

We exist to create positive lasting memories in everything we do. We solve problems. We make things work smoothly. We create opportunities.

Our Mission

Our mission is to deliver unique, high-value and easy to use solutions for a wide variety of maintenance needs in workshops, factories, and homes. We market and distribute our brands across multiple trade channels in countries all over the world.

How We Do It

We create positive lasting memories by cultivating a tribal culture of learning and teaching, which produces a highly engaged workforce who live our company’s values every day.

Why do we call ourselves a tribe?

At WD-40 Company, we call our employees tribe members. We define tribe as a group of people who come together to protect and feed each other.  As individuals, and as an organization, we aspire to live up to the behaviors of a tribe. For us, a self-sustaining and interdependent tribe share common attributes such as values, knowledge, celebration, ceremony and a strong sense of belonging. Each tribe member is recognized for their specialized skills and their contributions to benefit the greater good of the tribe. Through these efforts, a tribal culture becomes a self-sustaining place where people want to stay and grow.
