In the 1920s, visionary chemist and engineer Harry Conklin set out to find practical solutions to everyday problems. Using his basement as a laboratory and his garage as a factory, he formulated cleaner petroleum conditioners and lubricant additives and invented a fuel conditioner that significantly increased gas mileage. Conklin’s fuel-saving conditioners, sold today, are no longer considered an option, rather a must for keeping more of your hard-earned dollars.

Mr. Conklin also formulated one of the very first parasynthetic motor oils. Today’s Convoy products work so well, they lower fuel and oil consumption and help extend oil change intervals. From farmers to truckers to your everyday driver, hard-working people from across the country have adopted Conklin’s maintenance products to keep their vehicles and equipment running longer, improve their performance, and reduce their maintenance costs. If cars, trucks, and equipment are integral to your business, Conklin Vehicle Products will improve your bottom line.

Conklin Company Owner, Chief Executive Officer, and President Charles W. Herbster started his Conklin career more than 45 years ago when he became a Conklin Independent Distributor on Dec. 1, 1976. Just six months later, Charles was appointed a Conklin Director on July 1, 1977, breaking the record for his quick management advancement. Bob and Jack Conklin, the sons of original Conklin owner Harry Conklin and Co-Owners and Co-Founders of the Conklin Company at the time, requested Charles join the corporate staff and accept the position of National Sales Manager.

During the late 70s, Charles traveled the country training, supporting, and serving Distributors coast to coast. In 1980, he resumed his role in the field as a Conklin Director. Charles married his wife, Judy, in 1982, and they built their Conklin business together as Directors for the next 10 years. In 1992, Charles became the majority shareholder of the Conklin Company, and in 1994, he became the sole owner.

Today, he is the longest serving President in the Conklin Company history. Celebrating over five decades as a manufacturing and distribution company, the core of the Conklin opportunity lies in its quality products — more than 130 across six major product divisions: Agronomics, Animal, Health & Home, Lawn & Garden, Roofing Systems, and Vehicle products. Conklin’s products are marketed through a vast nationwide network of Independent Distributors. The diversity in its product lines offers unlimited
opportunities for sales to a variety of clients. Customers rely on Conklin’s products to protect their most valued assets—their health, home, pets, vehicles, equipment, and buildings.

Conklin is only part of Charles’ passion; he was born with an entrepreneurial spirit. As a young boy, he was raised on the land homesteaded in 1847 by his great-great-grandfather. Charles got his start in the cattle business at the age of 11 when his grandmother purchased 65 registered Angus cows. Her investment in her grandson was the spark behind Herbster Angus Farms.

Today, Charles owns and manages more than 4,000 acres of prime farmland in southeast Nebraska and northeast Colorado, raising corn, soybeans, wheat, and dairy-quality alfalfa hay, along with registered Angus cattle. In addition, as owner of North American Breeders Inc. in Berryville, Virginia, Charles provides superior registered Angus genetics worldwide, breeder to breeder. With his decades of experience leading Conklin, Charles understands the importance of excellence, efficiency, and results.
