Mansfield Oil, a privately held $5.1 billion fuel logistics leader, announces the opening of their Midwest regional office in Naperville, Ill.


This is Mansfield's third office, and its opening this week comes on the heels of Mansfield opening a Denver office earlier this year, following the acquisition of TransMontaigne's commercial and industrial delivered fuel business.

"Opening this regional office is a planned stepping stone in the execution of our strategic plan to optimize enterprise fuel logistics and supply nationwide," says J. Alexander, President and COO at Mansfield Oil.

By optimizing fuel supply and logistics across three critical fuel supply markets, Mansfield Oil's new Midwest office will be able to leverage Mansfield Oil Company's multi-billion gallon buying power along with local market knowledge and transportation relationships to guarantee the best prices on the day's fuel for clients. Mansfield Oil already has several key accounts in the Chicago area, including National Express, Sara Lee, and PACE, the suburban Chicago public transit system.

Heading the new group is Vice President of Midwest Marketing Jim Stout, a 28-year petroleum industry veteran who joined Mansfield from FuelQuest, where he was Vice President of Supply Chain Solutions and worked with clients such as UPS, Costco, YRC Worldwide, Swift, Meijer, and FedEx Ground. Prior to FuelQuest, Jim spent over 20 years supplying and marketing fuel in the Midwest where he managed both Amoco's and BP's commercial transportation and government business.

Mansfield Oil provides comprehensive fuel logistics, fuel supply, delivery, and dispensing solutions to a rapidly expanding customer base throughout North America.
