About the company

JF Petroleum Group provides turnkey fueling infrastructure solutions across North America. It distributes petroleum equipment, installs and constructs fueling sites, and offers ongoing maintenance and service through a unified brand built from a history dating back to 1945.

The company’s goal is to be the leading national provider of complete fueling infrastructure solutions, continually expanding its portfolio and geographic reach through acquisitions and organic growth.
