THREE GENERATIONS STRONG. BUILT ON TRUST.

From a local fuel supplier to multi-state fleet solutions—powered by relationships, not contracts.

Our Story

Founded in 1961 as Sinclair Oil Company, Velvin Oil has grown from a local fuel provider into a trusted partner across the Southern U.S. For over 60 years, three generations of the Velvin family have built something remarkable: a company where handshake deals still matter and customer success comes first.

Today, we’re proudly operating as Velvin Oil, continuing our legacy of reliability and innovation in fuel distribution. But we’ve evolved far beyond fuel delivery. We’re the partner who provides complete fleet solutions—equipment, maintenance, financial flexibility—all backed by the relationship-first values that built this company.
