We try to take care of our customers the best way we can.

SCL

We’ve built our reputation on product and industry knowledge, performance satisfaction and superior logistics.

Background

SCL is a family-run business that has been dedicated to providing quality petroleum based products to customers while forming lasting relationships in all industry segments. In 1998, Richard Becktel partnered with Frank Paul Greinke to develop a strategic business model focusing on the Southern California wholesale lubricant market. As the company grew so did its geographic footprint. Richard and his team sought to expand both the organization's product offerings and services all the while remaining true to their family-run and operated commitment. Since then, SCL has grown to become the market’s leading distribution and logistics company. Our customers throughout California, many of whom have been with us since our infancy, represent a wide variety of industry sectors, ranging from automotive to aviation, transportation, construction and manufacturing.

Mission

We protect and optimize the machines that keep our country moving. One of our many sources of pride lies in building long term relationships with our customers, achieving this in part by always following through on what we say we will do. Our customers depend on us, and we want to keep it that way and through the principles of reliability, transparency, safety, teamwork, confidence and the bold capacity to lead customers and the industry at large, we know we will share in our customers' success.

Vision

As SCL looks to the future, we are committed to maintaining the boundless enthusiasm and passion inherent within a family-run business that is fueled by loyalty and the relentless pursuit of product knowledge. We do, however, recognize the need to be more than a great distribution company to our customers. Our goal is to continue to advance the consultative arm of our business, which allows us to look at the entire picture of a company, identify any inefficiencies or deficiencies, and improve those processes with our knowledge and vast network and resources. Customers depend on us, and we want to honor our commitment to them with a long term view of their success.

Environmental Initiatives

Our commitment goes beyond simply meeting environmental regulations.

Throughout our company’s history, we’ve witnessed the rise of government-led environmental regulations. We’ve not only embraced those new standards, we’ve used them as inspiration to go above and beyond within the walls of our own facilities. We are committed to leading a green lifestyle, and we encourage the same among our customers.
