Cardwell Distributing, Inc. has been in business for over 40 years. Founded by Lowell J. Cardwell in 1964, Cardwell offers superior lubricants, motor fuels and fleet fueling services to meet our customer’s industrial, commercial and retail petroleum needs. With the acquisition of Hutchinson Oil in April of 2002, our distribution network now reaches over 3000 customers in Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, Idaho and Nevada. With this acquisition, we enhanced our ability to service our customers through better contracting capabilities with our vendors, and added more locations from which to deliver. Cardwell has teamed with Shell, Chevron, Sinclair, Flying J, Tesoro and other major fuel and lubricant distributors to provide more than 70 million gallons of gasoline, diesel fuel, and lube products to our customers.

Cardwell Distributing employs many technology tools to make it easier for our vendors and customers to do business with us. We have placed internet connectivity in all of our locations and utilize our website, cardwelldistributing.com, to host our email system, receive product orders and provide prompt, courteous customer service. Through the use of high speed internet and WiFi technologies, we offer such services as electronic invoicing and bill payment as well as storage tank monitoring. Our telecommunications and internal information systems are secure, state-of-the-art, and undergoing constant improvement allowing us to anticipate and fulfill our customer’s needs.

Our goal is to provide superior oil and fuel products at competitive prices, and offer the finest in customer service and expertise to customers of all sizes and applications.
