Ole Bardahl, a Norwegian immigrant, came to the United States in 1922 and settled in Ballard, a community of Scandinavian immigrants located in Northwest Seattle. After purchasing a small chemical company, Bardahl developed a unique formula for oil additives. Over the next 20 years Bardahl’s business steadily grew and based on its reputation for quality, the company expanded rapidly across the country and internationally until it became the leading additive manufacturer and supplier in the U.S.

Bardahl is famous for its long heritage of racing, having sponsored many race teams around the world. Ole Bardahl was inducted into the Motorsport’s Hall of Fame of America.

Driving North over the Ballard Bridge at night, you can’t miss this two story neon sign still shining.
