RelaDyne has acquired Dennis Oil Company, expanding its footprint across the U.S. Midwest and strengthening its position in commercial and industrial lubricants.
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Dennis Oil, founded in 1940 and headquartered in Springfield, Missouri, blends and distributes lubricants across Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas. The family-owned company serves trucking, manufacturing, mining, railroad, agricultural, and construction customers, supplying engine oils, diesel exhaust fluid (DEF), hydraulic and gear oils, and grease.
RelaDyne said the acquisition enhances density in key Midwest markets and complements its existing service and distribution network. “Dennis Oil Company’s service footprint and product breadth perfectly complement our existing operations in the Midwest,” said RelaDyne CEO Eric Royse, citing the target’s longstanding customer relationships and reputation for service.
Dennis Oil President Jeff Dennis said joining RelaDyne would allow the company to expand product offerings and service capabilities while continuing to support long-standing customers. “This combination propels our capacity to grow with our loyal customers and reach new markets,” he said.
RelaDyne, founded in 2010, has grown rapidly through acquisitions and now operates more than 190 locations across North America. Chief Strategy Officer David Schumacher said the Dennis Oil deal aligns with RelaDyne’s focus on investing in the “Heartland of America” and expanding in critical commercial and industrial end markets.
The transaction underscores continued consolidation in the lubricants and fuel distribution sector as scale, logistics, and service breadth become increasingly important.
