RelaDyne Acquires Alabama Car Lubricant Company
RelaDyne has acquired Jasper Oil, a provider of a full line of petroleum-based products ranging from lubricants, oils to hydraulics and fuels based in Jasper, Alabama. Previously a wholly-owned subsidiary of Drummond Co. Inc., Jasper Oil provides all petroleum-based products needed for mining operations.
RelaDyne provides lubricants, fuel, diesel exhaust fluid (DEF), and industrial reliability services to the market. This acquisition builds upon RelaDyne’s strong geographic presence in Alabama and further solidifies its existing service capabilities in the mining industry, according to the company.
Jasper Oil is a regional lubricant and fuel distributor in Alabama. As part of RelaDyne, Jasper Oil will enhance RelaDyne’s distribution capabilities and provide increased operating efficiency for RelaDyne’s existing Southeast regional operations. Jasper Oil will also strengthen RelaDyne’s existing relationship with it branded lubricants partners and provide a strategic evolution to future organic growth.
