FEATURE STORY

Petroleum Trends International, Inc. – Publishers of JobbersWorld

In last month’s JobbersWorld series on Titans in Lubricant Distribution, we profiled RelaDyne and Brenntag; behemoths in the business. But they are not alone. Another very large and growing lubricant distributor in the market is Moove, a subsidiary of Cosan, SA. Moove has grown significantly in the lubricants space over the past decade, and with its acquisition of PetroChoice in 2022, Moove became one of the leading distributors in the US market.

Moove’s worldwide sales of lubricants and base oils combined is estimated at 160 million gallons and this, along with the depth and breadth of its lubricants business gives the company the distinguished position of being one of the largest lubricant distributors in the world; a true titan in the business.
