Since Superior was established in 1932 as a privately held family business in Indianapolis, we have worked to develop strong relationships with our customers. Nearly 90 years later, Superior has evolved into one of the top 20 chemical and top 5 composite distributors in North America. Now that's a testament to our partnerships!

A key point in our history was the company's conversion to an Employee Stock Ownership Plan in 2008. From that point forward, our team of nearly 300 employee-owners has been truly invested in serving our customers, suppliers, and communities.

From our start as a home fuel oil jobber, we have grown into a full-service distributor, manufacturer, and services provider. But more than that, we've developed a solid reputation for offering value-added solutions that improve your processes, keep you compliant, and save you money.

Our local representatives take time to learn about your business so that we can personally collaborate with you to provide the best solutions. Helping you find a better way is what we do best!

Tapping into our expansive network of domestic and international producers also will help meet your needs. And, our degreed chemists and environmental experts provide technical and compliance support–second to none as proven by our outstanding compliance record.

We're committed to the National Association of Chemical Distributors and its Responsible Distribution® Management System.
