NAPERVILLE, Ill. -- Gainesville, Ga.-based Mansfield Oil, the privately held, $5.1 billion fuel logistics company, has opened a Midwest regional office in Naperville, Ill. This is Mansfield's third office, and its opening on September 23 comes on the heels of Mansfield opening a Denver office earlier this year, following the acquisition of TransMontaigne's commercial and industrial delivered fuel business.
"Opening this regional office is a planned stepping stone in the execution of our strategic plan to optimize enterprise fuel logistics and supply nationwide," said J. Alexander, president [image-nocss] and COO at Mansfield Oil.
By optimizing fuel supply and logistics across three critical fuel supply markets, Mansfield Oil's new Midwest office will be able to leverage its multi-billion gallon buying power along with local market knowledge and transportation relationships to guarantee the best prices on the day's fuel for clients, it said. Mansfield Oil already has several key accounts in the Chicago area, including National Express, Sara Lee, and PACE, the suburban Chicago public transit system.
Heading the new group is vice president of Midwest marketing Jim Stout, a 28-year petroleum industry veteran who joined Mansfield from FuelQuest, where he was vice president of supply chain solutions and worked with clients such as UPS, Costco, YRC Worldwide, Swift, Meijer and FedEx Ground. Prior to FuelQuest, Stout spent more than 20 years supplying and marketing fuel in the Midwest where he managed both Amoco's and BP's commercial transportation and government business.
"Jim Stout is the perfect talent to lead the expansion of our Midwest operations," said Doug Haugh, executive vice president of business development and CIO at Mansfield Oil. "His expertise and experience finding the best possible fuel logistics solutions for enterprise clients are unequaled."
Stout's handpicked team of oil industry veterans includes Duane Garman, a petroleum industry advisor with more than a decade of experience managing major accounts and providing customer service. Before joining Mansfield, he was with Ports Petroleum for 14 years.
