Tropic Oil Company, Inc. to be Acquired by Parkland
Allows organic growth opportunities throughout Central and South Florida

Tropic Oil, headquartered in Miami, transports, distributes and markets a full range of fuels, lubricants, and equipment to the marine, automotive, trucking and aviation industries. Tropic Oil operates and supplies nine cardlock facilities, three bulk storage plants, 200,000 sq. ft. of warehouse space, two dedicated rail spurs and 80 trucks throughout Central and South Florida.
“Through Tropic Oil, Parkland USA is adding its third Regional Operating Center (ROC) and expanding its presence into the southeastern states for the first time. Tropic Oil is highly regarded for its ability to provide consistent, reliable service throughout the central and south Florida markets,” said Doug Haugh, President of Parkland USA. “We view Tropic Oil as the gateway to the Caribbean and South America, as this new Southeast ROC will serve as a platform company that connects and leverages our SOL business in meaningful ways. We thank George LeVasser, Tropic’s CEO and welcome Steve Gorey, president of Tropic Oil and our new General Manager of the ROC, and his team to Parkland.”
The acquisition is expected to close on or about Oct. 1, 2019. Tropic Oil will retain its name and its brand and will operate under Parkland USA, a division of Parkland comprising several of Parkland’s wholly owned subsidiaries.
Established in 1952, Tropic Oil Company is the leading supplier of fuels and lubricants to the Central and South Florida Market. Tropic Oil, a privately held company, is located across 10½ acres in Miami-Dade County with bulk plants in Cocoa and Lake Wales, giving easy access to major highways that allow for smooth delivery to our rapidly growing customer base.
