Wilfried Dresel received his diploma in chemistry 1972 at the University of Karlsruhe, Germany and his doctorate 1976 in carbosilane chemistry. His industrial career began 1977 in the field of preparative organic and pharmaceutical chemistry. From 1979 to 1983 he worked for a small company on lubricants for fine mechanical instruments. He joined Fuchs 1984, and is responsible for the development of lubricating greases, first on a national, later on as well on a global basis. He has authored 35 scientific papers and contributions to books.
