HOLLYWOOD, CA — (03-22-19) — Elbow Grease Lubricants celebrates its 40th anniversary delivering its iconic and stimulating formulas. Their stimulating Elbow Grease Cream Cool CreamElbow Grease H20 , Fusion Deep Action Silicone and the Delicious Encounter Strawberry Flavored Lubricant formulas are must stocks at all times.

Owner and president of B.Cumming Co. told JRL CHARTS that the multi award-winning iconic brand will be on hand at the ANME B2B Trade Show in July.

I was also able to chat with Nef Martinez, owner and president of B.Cumming Co., to find out how hitting the big 40 has been.

Andy Powell: Nef, how does it feel to be the owner of the iconic Elbow Grease lube brand now celebrating its 40th anniversary?

Nef Martinez: I still can’t believe that I own this brand. It is an incredible feeling. This has been a very long, fun, exciting journey for me. I began my employment with B. Cumming Co. in January 1991. I was hired as a warehouse employee. A few years later I was promoted to office clerk. Then I moved on to the sales department. After a while I was promoted to head the sales department. Then I eventually started overseeing the day to day operations. At that point I was promoted to Vice President. In August 2016 I was offered the opportunity to purchase the company and became the sole owner of the amazing brand of Elbow Grease.

Andy Powell: Nef, talk about starting from the ground floor and going all the way to the top! Tell me, will you be offering retailers new POP displays?

Nef Martinez: Over the last 40 years we have offered displays for our retailers however, at this time displays are not being considered. But we do have exciting plans and ideas to expand the brand. You just have to wait and see what we come up with next.

Andy Powell: Nice tease there Nef. I was wondering…What continues to make Elbow Grease stand out from the hundreds if not thousands of competitors in retail?
