Heritage Petroleum and Allied Oil & Supply are announcing a merger of their two-family businesses broadening not only their geographic coverage, but their company-wide capabilities.  Aaron Gabe, Heritage Petroleum CEO, stated “I am thrilled to connect with the vast Customers, Sales Team and the Operational Excellence Allied provides with a broader Customer base offering of Fuel Products and Fuel Services Heritage offers today. In addition, the use of Allied’s highly regarded Industrial Services Operations will expand Heritage’s capabilities significantly across the current Heritage Customers.” The merged businesses will reflect the late Tom Gabe’s vision of the business being a heritage and legacy that all employees contribute beyond our time, carrying the Heritage Petroleum name.
