RelaDyne has acquired the Georgia-based petroleum distributor Rossee Oil Company, adding four new facilities to its regional network. The deal marks the fifth acquisition for the company so far in 2026.
Why it matters
The acquisition aims to strengthen RelaDyne’s fuel and lubricant distribution capabilities along with its industrial reliability services across the Southeast. By integrating an established local firm, the company scales its operations in the region.
RelaDyne has completed five acquisitions during 2026, including the purchase of Rossee Oil Company which brings four distribution facilities into its network. The company now oversees a total of 190 locations across North America.
