Derrick Oil & Supply, Inc., part of the southern RelaDyne network, was acquired by RelaDyne in September of 2011. Formed in 1977 by Roland and Shirley Alphin, Derrick Oil & Supply was primarily geared toward auto parts, discount stores and lube shops selling case oil, wiper blades, spark plugs, etc. In the mid-1980s due to the decrease of mom-and-pop chain parts and discount stores, Derrick Oil began to steer more toward industrial business with drum and bulk oil accounts and the addition of fuel and Arco Lubricants to its product line.
Today, Derrick Oil helps to fill in the market gap between RelaDyne’s Houston and Louisiana divisions. They continue to provide the same standard of excellent service established by Roland Alphin in 1977.
