RelaDyne, one of the nation’s leading providers of lubricants, fuel, diesel exhaust fluid (DEF), and industrial reliability services has acquired Nick Barbieri Trucking, LLC a full-service oil, lubricant, gasoline and diesel fuel distributor, and card lock operator serving the Northern California market. 

Founded in 1994 in Santa Rosa, CA, Nick Barbieri Trucking has grown considerably since its humble beginnings by providing unmatched customer service and making several acquisitions to strengthen its market position in Northern California. This acquisition will expand the RelaDyne footprint into California and strengthen its Western region operations.

“One of my objectives was to find an organization prepared to continue to develop the reputation and local talent base that we have built through three generations since 1951,” said Nick Barbieri, Owner and Managing Partner of Nick Barbieri Trucking. “Our family has been privileged to serve the northern California energy market starting with my grandfather Peter Barbieri, my father Bob, and now myself. Partnering with RelaDyne, we will keep customer service as our number one priority, and our operations will be able to continue to grow by providing even more products and services to our loyal customers to continue to uphold our family legacy.” The Barbieri family was advised by The Joseph Hale Company of Houston, Texas.
