PARAMOUNT, Calif. -- West Coast petroleum distributor SC Fuels has selected C-Buying, a division of Consolidated Buying Co. LLC (CBC), as its exclusive buying group for its dealer network.
As the select buying group, C-Buying will support the SC Fuels dealer network by providing pricing benefits, promotional opportunities and rebates from hundreds of national and regional suppliers and service providers.
C-Buying will offer our dealers significant savings and benefits over and above what they are able to receive on their own, [image-nocss] truly providing incremental profits to their bottom line. The agreement underscores our commitment to our dealers, our employees, and ultimately our customers, said R. Clint Mercer, president of Paramount, Calif.-based SC Fuels.
SC Fuels' growth and focus on consistent supply and service for the independent retailer is a natural fit for our organization, said Jon Lanphier, CEO of CBC. Our ability to strengthen our West Coast relationships with Clint and his management team works very well with our long-term strategy.
