Brad Benson tells the Sea Foam story… and more at AIMExpo. Trusted by mechanics since 1943, Sea Foam Sales Company was born with a focus on safe and effective products that help engines and equipment run cleaner and last longer.
The Sea Foam story began in the 1930s, when Fred Fandrei, a salesman in the petroleum industry, wanted to spend more time fishing than fixing his outboard motor because of fuel-related problems. With the goal of finding the perfect petroleum blend, Fred created a formula that would stop fuel from going bad and help his motor run better. The formula became quite popular among his fishing friends. He began selling it to local fishermen in beer bottles and quart jars, naming the formula “Sea Foam” after a friend in Florida called and asked for some of that “Sea Foam stuff.”
Sea Foam has grown since its humble beginnings, but our focus is still the same: safe products that are proven to work and keep engines and equipment running their best.
