Hager Oil Company

What Hager Oil Company does

Hager Oil Company is a regional B2B petroleum products distributor headquartered in Jasper, Alabama, founded in 1954 and acquired by RelaDyne in April 2017. The company distributes a broad portfolio of lubricant, fuel, and chemical products to industrial, commercial, and heavy-duty customers across Alabama and the broader Southern US market.

Its product catalog spans motor oils, gear oils, heavy-duty engine oils, industrial oils, hydraulic fluids, greases, antifreeze, diesel exhaust fluid, conventional and alternative fuels, fuel additives, and related industrial chemicals. Distribution is conducted under multi-brand supplier relationships with major petrochemical and lubricant manufacturers including Chevron, Shell, Phillips 66, Drydene, RelaTECH, Oil Eater, Eastman, and Ergon, giving the company flexibility to supply across price points and customer specifications.

Hager Oil generates revenue through wholesale and direct distribution margins on the petroleum and chemical products it supplies, with a business model typical of regional B2B fuel and lubricant distributors: inventory holding, on-site or local-yard delivery, technical product support, and repeat-supply contracts with industrial accounts and commercial fleets. The company operates with a small team of 11–50 employees and is led by President James Eidson, functioning as a regionally focused distribution node within the larger RelaDyne platform post-acquisition.

Broad incumbents

• Chevron Lubricants: Chevron is a major integrated oil company and one of the largest lubricant manufacturers globally, and also a key brand partner distributed by Hager Oil. While Chevron operates upstream and at a vastly larger scale, it represents both a supplier relationship and a potential direct competitor as customers can purchase Chevron lubricants directly.

Comparable in that Hager Oil resells Shell products, but Shell also sells directly to large industrial accounts, creating both supply partnership and competitive disintermediation dynamics.
