Hi, my name is Larry Gniatczyk. I started Microlon Products in 2003; prior to that I was the owner of an Industrial Distributorship, and a tier 1 supplier to the automotive industry. After 25 successful years in industry, I was able to sell our company and retire. Well I failed retirement. Missing the employees, the interaction with customers and our suppliers. Because of non-compete contracts and the laws in our country, I could not do anything related to the past 25 years. After spending a couple years looking at product we found Microlon. The product has been manufactured for 40 years; FAA accepted and won the “Medaille de Vermeil” at the 7th International Exhibition of Inventions and New techniques in Geneva Switzerland. This prestigious award, representing first in class for new product innovations, was presented to the inventor Bill Williams of Microlon in 1978. That all sounded great, but here I sat with a history of 25 years on the road and I never heard of this product, so I decided to start a test program. Well we spent a year, we being my long time friend John D. Lovio. John worked in industry at various positions from plant manager to president. In John’s early years he was on the all Army Shooting Team. He even owned and manufactured the HEG shooting rest, which by the way has been used by the US Army, Marine, Air Force and Navy shooting teams and gunsmiths for the past 30 years. In 2005, John improved the product and has delivered new units to the Army and Marine gunsmiths.

Well now you have two well-seasoned guys who have never heard of Microlon. Both with clean reputations and not wanting to sell something that doesn’t work. So test we did, we purchased many auto kits for 4, 6, and 8 cylinder cars. Established a documented test criteria and gave them away free for testing. We are happy to say when installed properly everyone showed an increase in MPG of 5% to 21%. I personally tested the product in a 37 Express Twin Engine Searay. To make sure we would see something or nothing we only treated the starboard engine and trans. After 11 hours nothing was showing, after talking with the plant it was established that the boat was not getting hot enough and the runs were too short. So the next weekend we traveled 60 miles to a port in Lexington, Michigan. On the way back I gave it the gas to pass another boat and after successfully doing that I pulled back on the throttles only to see them for the first time not even although the engines were synchronize. From that point on, the starboard engine ran 600 RPM lower than the Port. The boat ran smoothly and was always synchronized but it took less RPM’s to run the starboard. A definite fuel savings, which I enjoyed having in the summer of 2005 when fuel was + $4.00 per gallon. After watching this for about a month I treated the Port Engine and both are equal again.

A lot of time has passed since we first started testing, we are looking at everything we can, and will introduce new applications from time to time. Remember Microlon is not only about fuel economy. Microlon reduces friction and wear, makes products run smoother, quieter and cooler, it also useful as a protection against corrosion. If you have an idea and would like to work with us on testing a new area, give us a call. If we have worked in that area we will share the results. If not we are always willing to learn and test, as long as we can see a benefit for people at large or the industry.

John took the lead in firearms, and introduced me to many champions in that sport. Some of them have endorsed the product and you can read their stories in Real Stories by Real Guys. John also introduced in the summer of 2005 UltraBlue® to the USA Army and Marines shooting teams. Both adopted the product by the fall of this year as their standard lube.

We have gone on to test buses in various school districts with much success in Michigan and Texas. With fuel prices putting a squeeze on school districts budgets we are glad to see we are able to offer some relief.

The frieght carrier industry has also started to see the light, and what a light it is. The combination of their high mileage and diesel fuel over $3.00 per gallon, fleets of 100 trucks getting a 20% increase in MPG can see a $714,000.00 savings in their fuel costs. Along with that they get all the other features of Microlon.

I could go on forever but by now you get the idea the product really works.
And we are sold on it. It works in all walks of life, lawn maintenance, snowplowing, farming, sporting, industry, marine and the home.

It’s a one-time application that works.

Thank you for looking at our site.
