Over the years, the company has partnered with several major petroleum brands and weathered the ups and downs of myriad mergers & acquisitions that have changed the marketplace landscape. What started out as a small consignee for Gulf Oil back in 1928 has grown into a company representing major lubricant brands such as Chevron, Petro-Canada, & Jax; ValvTech fuels and additives for the marine industry; and Pacific Pride fleet fueling programs and remote fueling stations.

In 2001, Warner adopted the Petro-Canada America business concept and became one of the first Petro-Canada distributors in the country as Petro-Canada expanded into the US Market. Warner Oil remains one of the longest-running Petro-Canada distributors in the US today, including the Red Giant Railroad Engine Oils and Sinclair Lubricants brands.
In 2003, Warner Oil expanded operations by adding a second site with the purchase of Roost Oil in Reading, which had been in business since 1975. The site offers a fueling station with a proprietary card-lock system and retail space serving the industrial and agricultural markets in the area.
In 2006, the company achieved a reserved status with Chevron, known as the Signature Class, which represents excellence in customer service. Only 6 percent of Chevron’s marketers achieve this exclusive company status.
In early 2025, Warner Oil partnered with Demco to become an outside distributor for some of their key automotive products supporting the heavy-duty industries Warner serves.

Mark Loveberry joined the family business in 1984. He began learning the business and customers by making deliveries, providing service work, and collecting debts. When his father retired in 2001, Loveberry purchased the business from his father and brother and became president of Warner Oil Company. “When you start as a delivery and service person, you really have a chance to develop relationships with clients. You understand what is important to your customers. I think that gives me a unique edge in dealing with the ever changing energy needs of our customers today”, said Loveberry. “Further, my son Markus has become an integral part of Warner Oil and like me, he has worked in virtually every aspect of the business in delivery, office, sales, operations, etc. I think it is and was just as important for him as it was to me to understand how all the moving parts affect the overall customer experience and how that impacts the commitment we make to our customers every day.”
Vision & Mission
Warner Oil isn’t just about providing energy solutions to our customers. We do so in terms of providing the most timely and cost effective solutions while minimizing the impact of these solution to our customers’ colleagues, neighbors, and the environment around them. “Now more than ever is the time to act upon energy conservation and technology. We would like to think we were ‘Green’ before it became a thing or a fad. Doing more with less has always been a driving force for reducing costs and impact. That will only continue to become more emphasized for manufacturers, distributors, and end users.” – Mark Loveberry.
Our Vision is to embrace the energy problems of tomorrow – today. Our Mission is to solve those problems for our customers by evaluating the problem or threat and then seeking the most appropriate solution based on cost, timing, emissions, environmental impact, and or evolving regulations. We them employ our combined industry experience and current technology to pursue solutions while looking at new technologies such as AI that might assist us in doing all of these things more efficiently.
Renewable and sustainable energy solutions offered by Warner Oil Company include: ethanol and ethanol blended fuels, generation II renewable diesel fuel blends, low viscosity lubricants, diesel exhaust fluids, solar heat, wood, pellets, wind generation, and more. “We are poised for the future energy needs of our clients. We are large enough to handle any size company while being small enough to react in a timely fashion to meet our customers’ expectations,” Mark Loveberry, President Warner Oil. “Oil and hydrocarbons will be around for a long time. That is an economic and physical reality. But if we can reduce the use or consumption while providing the same amount of productivity-then we have reduced emissions, reduced waste to landfills, and reduced costs to operate. That is being sustainable and realistic.”
