COMPANY'S PROFILE
Jig-A-Loo Inc. first came on the retail scene with Jig-A-Loo, an invisible all-around lubricant and water-repellent with hundreds of practical uses around the home, the garage, the shop, the garden, and many other places. A favourite product in Canada for over half a century in residential, industrial and commercial uses, Jig-A-Loo helps just about anything operate and slide better. It's also an exceptional water-repellent for shoes and garments, as well as a rust and freeze inhibitor that will not drip or stain. Unlike traditional lubricants, Jig-A-Loo contains no oil, grease, wax, petroleum distillates or detergent.
Jig-A-Loo was launched in the 90's on a larger scale in the Canadian mass retail market. Its unique clean, dry and smooth application quickly captured a substantial portion of the lubricant market by winning over do-it-yourselfers and professionals alike.

What does Jig-A-Loo mean?
Like a lot of revolutionary products, Jig-A-Loo started with one person with a great idea. Fifty years ago, an enterprising Quebecer who had long been working on finding just the right formula for an all-around lubricant had his "ah-hah!" moment. In his excitement, he yelled out a familiar French Canadian expression: "Ti-gi-doo!" which means, "I've got it!" The question was, what to call it. Everyone involved wanted to celebrate the special moment so they came up with a phonetic version of the now-famous phrase. "Jig" is a variation on the first part of the expression that happens to include the notion of what we do when something sticks - we try to jiggle it. Moreover, "Loo" is a reference to the product's principal purpose as a lubricant. In Canada, the name is well known and the product is recognized for its consistent results and uncommon versatility. In a word, Jig-A-Loo has become a part of consumers' everyday language. It is the first in a family of practical home improvement products produced by our company that carry similar names such as Jig-A-Clean and so on.
