Who We Are

HISTORY OF HARTLEY

​

• Hartley Oil was founded in 1946 by Glen ‘Sub’ Hartley.  Sub started the business with a gas station and a Quaker State distributorship – hence our name - Hartley Oil Company, Inc.  Today, the Quaker State portion of our business has long concluded and we don’t have anything to do with the ‘oil business’; however, through the years of conducting business, our reputation and customers know us as Hartley Oil.  Hartley Oil currently remains a family-owned business in its 3rd generation.

 

• What we do today, Distribution, Handling, Warehousing, Packaging, Repackaging, Product Sales, and Specialty Services all have roots in the beginning of our company.

–Sits on the Ohio River
