Unker’s Turns 40 this April

That’s right! For 40 years, Unker’s has been creating salves with all-natural ingredients.

Unker's began in April 1982, in a garage in Wapakoneta, Ohio. At the time, the salve was handmade and sold door-to-door. Since its humble beginnings, Unker’s has expanded to offer a range of all-natural pain and cold relief products, and now sells to hundreds of retailers around the world.

A look back at noteworthy milestones in the company’s history:

2010: Unker’s was purchased by Pat Pendleton from her father, the original founder.

2014–2020: Unker’s sponsors NASCAR drive team, Mike and Matt Wallace.
