Palmdale Oil Company — a distributor of fuels, lubricants, chemicals, propane, and diesel exhaust fluids with delivery solutions across the state of Florida- has acquired the assets of Fleetwing, a fuel and lubricants distributor serving commercial and industrial customers across Florida.
Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Founded in 1956 and headquartered in Lakeland, FL, Fleetwing offers a comprehensive product suite, supported by a large bulk storage infrastructure, numerous customer tank programs and a dedicated delivery fleet to commercial and industrial customers across the Central Florida beltline and throughout the Sunshine State.
In a March 2 press release, Palmdale, headquartered in Palm Beach Gardens, FL, stated the acquisition will strengthen its footprint on the I-4 corridor and enhance its refined fuels and lubricants storage infrastructure, enabling the combined company to better serve customers and ensure service continuity during emergencies across the state.
“Over the past 70 years, Fleetwing has established a reputation as one of Florida’s most reliable providers of critical fuel and lubricant products, and we are thrilled to welcome another team with a deep family-owned heritage and customer service-oriented mindset to the Palmdale family,” said Lachlan Cheatham, CEO of Palmdale. “This acquisition creates a stronger, more resilient platform that expands capacity along the I‑4 corridor, improves response times and delivers a seamless, one-stop-shop experience for more customers across Florida.”
