 WD-40: Small Companies, Big Returns
It was a whole new world for a company that began producing its core product in 1953, doing business at first as the Rocket Chemical Co. WD stands for "water displacement"—the process by which the lubricant does its job—and 40 was the batch number that finally worked.

New product types and new retail channels had to be accommodated.
