Petro Service

What Petro Service does

Petro Service Inc. is a privately held petroleum trading and marketing company founded in 1990 and headquartered at 1880 State Route 35, South Amboy, New Jersey. The firm is engaged in physical and futures trading of petroleum products, with an established operational footprint across two of the most significant U.S. petroleum trading regions — the New York Harbor and the U.S. Gulf Coast. Its published material is limited to a single-page corporate website that confirms the company's address, phone contact, and core trading activity; no products, branded services, technology stack, leadership team, or customer roster are disclosed publicly.

The company's business model centers on intermediating physical and derivatives petroleum transactions for counterparties seeking exposure to or supply from these two hubs. Because the firm is privately held and operates in the commodities sector, pricing is conducted on a negotiated basis tied to prevailing market prices rather than published rate cards. There is no indication of technology platforms, proprietary software, AI tooling, or differentiated digital product offerings — the offering is fundamentally a trading and marketing service. Revenue, headcount detail beyond a stated 11-50 range, ownership structure, and capital base are not publicly disclosed.
