History
In 1957, William K. Westley established B’laster Holdings by developing the Original PB B’laster in response to a problem a friend was having with a phosphate mine in Florida. Mining equipment could not be taken apart for maintenance because of the build-up of corrosion, phosphate and moisture. Nothing could break through the corrosion, until The Original PB B'laster Penetrant was created. The penetrant freed the nuts and bolts that were stuck on the equipment by eating through the rust and corrosion.

In 2015, B’laster rebranded to take on a more cohesive look, and to attain additional brand awareness. Along with the rebranding decision, came an increase in marketing as well as advertising. B'laster Holding's new focus was to sell consumers a great-working product from a trusted brand at an honest price.

B'laster Holdings decided to increase their portfolio of automotive aftermarket brands under president and chief operating officer, Randy Pindor. In 2020, the company acquired Texas-based AC Avalanche, in which sold recharging systems for automotive air conditioners. The acquisition of AC Avalanche will assure the company a strong foundation within customer relationships, as well as expand product offerings.

In May 2022 B'laster Holdings looked to strengthen and expand their portfolio again. B'laster soon obtained Blumenthal Brands Integrated LLC. The BBI product lines include GUNK cleaners & degreasers, Liquid Wrench lubricant s & penetrants, and Titeseal tire sealant s & protectants.
