    Does anyone know if Hallett Steam Oils are still in business? Their website seems to be completely non-functional.

    Dormant company according to Companies House.
    Heritage steam supplies seem to sell Hallet products on their website though.

    I don't. They were bought last December by Aztec Oils under the Multispec brand.

    I think its a bit more complicated than that - Hallett Oils were acquired by Caldo Oils a few years ago. This St Helens-based business was originally called the Caledonian Oil Company and changed its name in 1951. It had two main divisions, bulk fuels supplying DERV, petrol, heating oils for home and industry, gas oil and tractor diesel for farms and off-road machinery, and kerosene for oil-fired ovens, heaters and lamps which was sold to Cheshire-based NWF along with the Caldo trading name.

    The group’s other business, manufacturing coolant, antifreeze, lubricants and greases for vehicles and engines, has been rebranded as Multispec and sold to Aztec Oils, which is based in Bolsover, near Chesterfield.

    Following its acquisition, Aztec will oversee the site in Worsley Brow, St Helens, where manufacturing under Multispec’s Hallett Steam Oils brand will continue.
