After splitting from Glockner Supply Company, Glockner Oil Company was established in 1968 as a sub-distributor for Quaker State. For its first 10 years, Glockner Oil operated from an empty box trailer and a pickup truck as we sold case goods to local companies. In 1978, we expanded to a 3,000 square foot warehouse in Portsmouth, Ohio, and we grew to be a full distributor for Quaker State. As our growth accelerated, we moved into a 10,000 square foot warehouse in Lucasville, Ohio, and delivered goods and bulk to mass retailers like K-Mart, Hill’s, Maloney’s, Heck’s and others. We added employees, bulk storage tanks and several other brands of products, including Valvoline, Castrol, Kendall, Shell and Texaco. Glockner Oil will strive to be a “Complete Package Partner” for each of our clients. We passionately provide our clients with a full complement of products and services, offering them personalized care, flexibility and simplicity. Glockner Oil continued to grow, expanding to two locations and covering 11 states. We acquired smaller lube distributers, Kanawha Valley Oil Co., Commercial Lubricants Company and a Chevron contract. In 1987, we purchased a large warehouse facility in Piketon, Ohio, and we consolidated our operations. In the early 1990s, Glockner Oil joined the Association of Independent Oil Distributors, a national group of select peers. We then expanded to Columbus, Ohio, to supply a growing chain of quick lubes. We added fuel to our portfolio and we continued to grow through grass roots customer services.
