For over 50 Years, Glockner Oil Company has proudly served Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, PA, and West Virginia in lubrication and fueling distribution services.
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.
“I have no bargains to offer, except in the sense of good goods at reasonable prices and a strong guarantee! When you buy from me, you have the assurance that I am right here to make anything right that isn’t.”

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 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. In 2005, we added environmental goods and services with the capabilities to recover used oil, coolants, filters and oily water, which are recycled into usable products. In 2007, we purchased the assets of Holton Oil Co. in Columbus. It quickly grew out of its small warehouse and moved into its current 42,000 square foot facility.
With the acquisition came additional suppliers: Chevron, Conoco/Kendall and Brad Penn. In 2008, we purchased the lubricant contracts of Vulcan Oil Co. in Cincinnati. We purchased the assets of New Era Environmental Company in 2012, adding its owner to our staff as well as its small facility in Cincinnati
