The History of Bauman Oil Distributors, Inc.
In August of 1948, Louis F. Bauman started a career with Mobil Oil Corporation (then called Socony Vacuum) as a commissioned agent. The Bulk Plant was located in Crystal City, Missouri along Highway 61-67. The business flourished as the area grew and developed into a strong trade area throughout the greater part of Jefferson County servicing homeowners with heating oil, farmers with gasoline and lubricants, commercial and industrial customers with fuel and lubricants and service stations with a wide variety of automotive products.
In September of 1980, Paul F. Bauman joined with his father in the business and later arranged the financing to purchase the assets of Mobil Oil Corporation and formed a distributorship under the corporate name of Bauman Oil Distributors, Inc. The corporation’s charter was officially established on December 17, 1980.
Since then, Bauman Oil has developed a strong presence in the area and now distributes fuel and lubricants throughout a six county area.
The home office and main Bulk Plant is located at 1503 Commercial Blvd., Herculaneum, Missouri. Another Bulk Plant is located at 505 Veterans Blvd., Potosi, Missouri. Along with a fleet of five tank wagons, the company also operates three transports throughout a six county area.
There are two main brands of Lubricants carried by Bauman Oil. These are Phillips 66 and Conoco. Lubricants are delivered in bulk as well as packaged.
