Palmdale Oil, Florida’s leading supplier of fuels, propane, lubricants and chemicals, announces the acquisition of Maassen Oil Company.
Founded in 1931 in Arcadia, Maassen specializes in the distribution of propane, off-highway colored diesel, on-highway clear diesel, gasoline and lubricating oils to a diverse clientele of commercial and residential customers.
This acquisition allows Palmdale to strategically expand its distribution footprint and operational capabilities throughout Florida.

This strengthening of distribution capabilities and management solutions underscores Palmdale’s commitment to providing high-quality services and maintaining strong relationships with its customers and partners.

Future prospects

By absorbing Maassen’s operations, Palmdale is favorably positioned to capitalize on growth opportunities throughout the state of Florida.
The focus on transportation efficiency and expanded service offerings will help solidify Palmdale’s position as a leader in the regional energy sector.
The integration of the two companies is also expected to generate significant synergies, enabling better allocation of resources and increased delivery capacity.
