Leading Lubricant Distributors Combine to Form Cadence Petroleum Group

ASHEBORO, N.C., March 20, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Five of the southeastern United States' leading lubricant distributors announced on Monday the formation of Cadence Petroleum Group (www.cadencepetroleum.com). The new company now includes Pugh Lubricants of Asheboro, NC, Apollo Oil of Winchester, KY, Veteran's Oil of Bessemer, AL, Halco Lubricants of Norcross, GA and Mid-South Sales of Jonesboro, AR.

Cadence Petroleum Group will continue to operate through its five brands in 20 existing locations and local service areas across the southeastern United States, with a new group of central leadership being formed to drive process improvement within the group and create more value for external partners. Existing leadership will stay in place at each of the companies, and customers will continue to interact with the familiar trucks, drivers and customer service professionals they've come to know throughout 200+ combined years of service from the five companies.

New Cadence Petroleum Group CEO, Robert Romano, sees tremendous upside in the new operation. "We have two huge advantages right from the start. If you look at how well our five businesses have served the customer in the past – when that's your jumping-off point, that's truly remarkable. Pair that with our singular focus as a combined organization, and it's really exciting what we're going to be able to do together," Romano said in a statement last week.

Similarly, Murray Benton of Mid-South Sales and Alan Parker of Halco Lubricants are extremely encouraged about the future they see for their organizations, as well as for the group as a whole. "We're going to continue to do right by our customers in Arkansas and the surrounding states – and we have incredibly strong backing from the group. It's an ideal situation for all of us," Benton said. Parker added, "This will add value to what we are able to bring to our branded supplier partners. We were a great partner prior to the merger and now with the size and scale of the merged organization, we can bring added strength to all of them."

Together, the new group expects to continue to expand its deliveries of lubricants and fuels across automotive, commercial and industrial customers in 2019, and it will focus on efficiency and making it easy to partner with its customers. Mike Pugh, President of the new group, sums it up: "When a company really hits its stride, when they find their cadence, it's easier to do business. There's a trust. There's reliability and there's value. That's what we're going to achieve together for the benefit of our customers."
