Speciality Fats and Oils Home About Us History Products Contact Us Leather Oil Neatsfoot oil has been used for centuries in leather goods due to it's ability to impart certain desired properties on the leather. During the tanning process, natural oils are removed from the hide. If these natural oils are not replaced, the leather will become stiff and unusable. Neatsfoot Oil, when applied during tanning and periodically thereafter, lubricates the leather fibers and waterproofs the leather. For the ultimate in leather protection and pliability, try Mink Oil. The fatty acid composition of mink oil is unlike that of any other oil. The high levels palmitoleic acid leads to an oil which performs as a great emollient. This gives the leather the maximum in softness, flexibility and waterproofing. Although some petroleum products have been used in leather softening applications, none of them have the emolliency and lubricity that is naturally found in Mink Oil. Peacock Tallows and Stearines are excellent stuffing compounds. The manufacturing process allows for the most consistent tallows and stearines available. We are able to take out the seasonal and geographic variations that are inherently found in these types of products. This consistency allows you to remove one more uncertainty from your manufacturing process.

Geo. Pfau's Sons Co. Inc. Speciality Fats and Oils Home About Us History Products Contact Us Our History George Pfau established his company just after the Civil War in 1869. It was originally located on the Ohio River, at the Falls of the Ohio, in Jeffersonville, Indiana. With over a century of specialization and pride, fats and oils are produced under rigid quality standards in Pfau's modernly equipped plant. Now in its 5th generation, Pfau continues its long-standing tradition of consistent quality, accuracy of meeting specifications, and prompt deliveries. Located on the banks of the Ohio River from 1869 until 1944, Pfau, in the winter of 1944, experienced a devastating fire that entirely destroyed the premises. The plant was rebuilt approximately six blocks north of the river at a new large site that was complete with rail service. Pfau has remained at its present site, which also has close proximity to the interstate highway system. In 1955, Pfau began warehouse stocks in Chicago, IL. During the decades of the 1970's and 1980's warehouse stocks were added to locations in New Jersey, Michigan, Missouri, Oregon, Los Angeles, and Ontario, Canada. The prominent location allows Pfau to provide overnight shipping to most regions of the US including; Great Lakes, Eastern Seaboard, Gulf Coast, East of the Rockies.
