In the beating heart of the Italian lubricants industry, Pakelo Motor Oil Company today gives its last greeting to his honorary President Elio Polacco, who, together with his brother Giuseppe and his sister Cecilia, contributed to the history of the company by continuing the business of the father Italo Rino.
We wish to pay a special attention to a silent speaker, who with his discreet and gentle manners has always enjoyed the esteem of his collaborators, who remember him as a reference point for his solidity, confidence in young talents and innovations, his presence and technical knowledge.
Always present in the company, until the end, he participated in the corporate life, going to greet everyone with his coffee in hand, observing the business activities with extreme calmness, but with a deep presence in the awareness of all.
He visited the new production facilities that are being built, with a great joy for the future. He has been the credit for Pakelo’s technological and information technology innovation, always forward-looking and with a look to the future he has implemented the first management control systems.
The philosophy of Elio Polacco was clear: to search the best suppliers and to maximize the results in products’ performance. Without any compromise. This focus on the quality of raw materials has led Pakelo to the creation of advanced lubricants, which have found application in various sectors: Earth moving, Heavy duty, Industry, Cars and F1, Motorcycle and Marine.
Today, the legacy of Elio Polacco lives on in every Pakelo products, with respect and admiration that the company arouses in the world of lubricants.
