History

After 10 years of working with Sun Oil Co. followed by two years with Gladieux Refinery, founder Robert Marshall decided to create an independent oil company named Linder Oil in May of 1978. What started in a basement office and rented warehouse, Robert's past oil industry experience combined with entrepreneurial spirit prompted the beginnings of the company we know today as the successful and growing Linder Oil Company.

1978 | The Birth of Linder Oil Company

Linder Oil was started in May of 1978 with an office in the basement of Robert Marshall's home and a rented warehouse space.

1982 | Relocated to a New Haven, IN Facility

In 1982, Linder Oil moved to a facility in New Haven, IN that had more ample office and warehouse space that better accommodated the company's growth.

1990 | The Lead Sled

In 1990, Linder Oil purchased its first new tanker, affectionately known as the "lead sled".

2006 | Here We Grow Again

In 2006, Linder Oil Company moved to our present day facility in Ossian, IN after outgrowing the New Haven location. Ossian held new possibilities for business and advancement.

2015 | Warehouse Expansion

In 2015, to meet the needs of additional customers and businesses, we expanded our warehouse.

2016 | Rail Spur Installed

Ten years after moving into the Ossian location, our hopes of adding a rail spur became reality. With this capability, Linder Oil is able to ship larger quantities of products nation wide!

2023 | Additional Rail Spur

In 2023, Linder Oil added an additional rail spur, which allowed us to bring in additional railcars and increase overall capacity.
