Historic Rastrick company established for almost 140 years is looking to expand
An oil blending and lubricants company established for almost 140 years in Rastrick – whose products are used in motorsports – is looking to expand.
Millers Oils is a leading manufacturer and independent blender of oils and lubricants operating since 1887 based in Brighouse, where the company’s story began.
Motor sports, motorcycles, industrial vehicles, commercial vehicles, cars, plant machinery and vintage vehicles all use products made by the company.
The company has applied to Calderdale Council planners seeking permission to remove three oil storage tanks at the Hillside Oil Works, Rastrick Common, site and install five oil storage tanks.
A supporting statement with the application from agents JMH Design says: “The proposed new installation has been designed to fit the expanding requirements of Millers Oils and by replacing outdated oil storage tanks its scale has been designed relative to the requirement.”
The new tanks will improve the company’s facilities and have no detrimental impact on any surrounding properties, said the agent.
