about august race

over a decade of innovation has lead us here

Forging the path to a sustainable future

Over more than a decade, August Race has evolved from a specialist performance brand into a globally recognised leader in marine maintenance and sustainability. Our products are trusted by professionals and distributed worldwide through many of the marine industry’s most established and respected partners. Multiple award wins, including a Global Good Award in 2024, reflect not only product performance but our long-standing commitment to innovation, transparency and responsible practice.

As the founders of Oceans Assured™, we have helped redefine expectations around compliance, environmental responsibility and product integrity – leading the industry in the development of genuinely sustainable maintenance solutions designed for the realities of modern marine operations. For over ten years, August Race has been an active member of British Marine, contributing to industry dialogue and best practice. In recognition of our technical leadership and regulatory work, we were invited to become members of the International Council of Marine Industry Associations (ICOMIA) at the beginning of 2025, further strengthening our role in shaping the future of sustainable marine operations at a global level.


Government Approved

Our work is supported by the UK Government through Innovate UK, recognising August Race’s globally relevant sustainability innovations across multiple sectors. This backing reflects the technical credibility of our approach and the real-world impact of our developments – from advanced formulation science to compliance-led product systems designed to meet emerging international environmental standards.
