About US - High patented Formula 7
Advanced Lubrication Technology
Petron PlusTM patented Formula 7 technology came about like most new inventions. An
ordinary, average guy, with extraordinary drive and ambition, was determined to make a better
product that was currently available.
Petron International, Inc. (PII), founded by Gary G. Clark in 1978 under the name MTM
Distributing, Inc. The name was changed to PII in 1982, and in the mid 1990’s PII name was
changed to Petronomics Mfg. Group, Inc. (PMGI), to separate the manufacturing from the sales
companies. PMGI is located in Hutchinson, Kansas; today PMGI is internationally known and
respected as one of the leaders in Advanced Lubrication Technology.
Clark started-out with one product. Clark formulated the products in his garage during the
summer and in his basement in the winter for the first year and half. All testing was done at a
laboratory in San Antonio, Texas. Clark burnt-up four or five of his wife's kitchen blenders,
formulating samples to send to lab for testing. Clark's three children (then ages 11, 9 and 7)
would fill and box the products.
PMGI moved into its first plant in 1982. A patent was filled in 1983 on the chemical make-up and
process; it was later issued in 1985.
PMGI moved for the second time in 1986, into a building with approx. 17,000 square feet. At the
same time the latest state of the art in manufacturing and filling equipment was added. In 1989
PMGI moved for the third time into 36,000 square feet building. At this time two 4,000 gallons
storage tanks were converted into two 4,000 gallons mixers, plus three smaller mixers were
added.
In June of 1994 and October of 1995 several wholly-owned and independent companies were
formed to manufacture and market the over 305 products (with over 1,320 sku’s or part
numbers) that Clarks had developed.
