Like many independent French brands, Stand Ohio Works (headquartered at 28 Rue de Châteaudun in Paris, in association with its factory and refinery located in Ermont in the Val-d’Oise) operated as a trader and distributor.
The company imported its crude base oils (primarily from the U.S.) to blend, process, and package them at its facility in the Île-de-France region, before distributing them under its own brand name.
