Cadence Petroleum Group Acquires BOC Oil Company, Inc
Cadence Petroleum Group continues its expansion with the acquisition of BOC Oil Company, Inc., a North Charleston–based fuel distributor serving Charleston, Berkeley, and Dorchester counties.
Founded in 1977 by Bobby Brunson and his wife Carolyn Brunson, BOC Oil has spent nearly five decades building a reputation for fast, dependable fuel delivery to construction, commercial, industrial, fleet, and marine customers throughout the Charleston Tri-County area. From its location in North Charleston, BOC specializes in on-site delivery of off-road and on-road diesel as well as gasoline, helping job sites and local businesses keep equipment and vehicles running on schedule.
In 2015, built on a long-term relationship with the Brunsons, Ryan Gammons became the new owner and BOC expanded beyond traditional job-site fueling to support a broad mix of customers that value responsiveness and local expertise. The company is certified to perform over-the-water fuel transfers to large vessels, making BOC a trusted supplier for marine and waterfront customers in the Charleston harbor area. By combining bulk diesel and gasoline supply, on-site fueling solutions, and storage tank support, BOC has become a reliable fueling partner in the Charleston Tri-County area.
BOC’s long-standing presence in the Lowcountry (coastal South Carolina) and its track record of serving local businesses with personalized service aligns closely with Cadence’s philosophy of building strong legacy companies and regional brands. The company has operated as a family-run business for decades and has been recognized locally as a small business enterprise, underscoring its roots in the Charleston community.
“We’re excited to be a part of the Cadence team, and their culture, offering more opportunities for our employees and the addition of fuel delivery services in the Lowcountry where they already offered a high level of service for lubricants and other products,” BOC CEO Ryan Gammons said.
The addition of BOC Oil strengthens Cadence’s local fuel distribution capabilities, enhances on-site and marine fueling options, and deepens its ability to respond quickly to customer needs in one of the Southeast’s most dynamic port and construction markets.
“We’re thrilled to have the BOC team join Cadence, allowing us to now provide our customers fuel delivery services, in addition to lubricants, DEF, and ancillaries already offered, in the growing Charleston and Lowcountry area,” Cadence Chief Commercial Officer Mike Stefanacci said.
An integral component of Cadence’s growth strategy is its approach to acquisitions. The company is committed to seeking firms that support its expansion into new regions, in addition to acquiring entities that strengthen its position in established markets.
