Global Partners

Global Partners is a Fortune 500 company and one of the largest independent owners, suppliers and operators of liquid energy terminals, fueling locations and retail experiences in the United States. Founded in 1933 and now in its fourth generation of family leadership, the firm traces its origins to Slifky's Reliable Oil Burner Service, established by Abraham Slifka in Boston during the Great Depression. Its headquarters remain in Boston, Massachusetts.

The company delivers liquid fuel products through an integrated system spanning three activities: terminal operations, wholesale distribution and retail. Its terminal network is among the largest in the country, stretching from Maine to Florida and into the Gulf states. Alongside wholesale fuel marketing, Global Partners operates more than 300 company-owned retail markets combining fueling locations with retail experiences.

Technical work at the company spans liquid energy terminal operations, fuel supply and wholesale distribution, fuel logistics and supply-chain management, and retail fuel and convenience operations. Through its GlobalGLO Low Carbon Solutions brand, it supplies biodiesel, renewable diesel, Bioheat, ethanol and other sustainable fuel options, reflecting an stated commitment to participating in the energy transition. Home heating oil, including Bioheat, forms part of the firm's industry activity alongside petroleum, wholesale and distribution, midstream logistics and retail convenience.

Operational priorities emphasise reliability and service, traits the company identifies as defining its work across nearly a century in business. Its footprint is concentrated in the United States, covering the East Coast from Maine to Florida, the Gulf states and the Boston area.
