Petra Oil Breaks Ground on $1 Million+ Expansion

The auto industry’s fastest growing maintenance and service product manufacturer’s $1 million investment underscores the brand’s commitment to the future.

CYPRESS, TEXAS – With a focus on investing in the future and a commitment to continue the evolution and growth of their product offerings and customer service capabilities, Petra Oil Company broke ground this past May 19, 2019 on an expansion that will nearly double their manufacturing, warehousing and R&D capabilities.

“This new construction emphasizes our commitment to maintaining a competitive edge so that we can continue to provide our customers with the highest quality, competitively priced product,” says Arnold Gacita, President & CEO of Petra Oil, “this investment will allow us to continue the evolution of our product and service offerings across the board.”

In addition to virtually doubling square footage, the expansion will allow Petra Oil to boost product kit production by 30%, increase warehousing by an impressive 35%, and double the size of both their R&D department and training center.

“With this expansion, we’ll be able to ensure the continuation of the outstanding service our customers have come to expect,” says Gacita. “Plus, we’ll be able to continue to meet growing product demands and bring new product offerings to market more quickly, all while maintaining the superior quality control our customers have come to rely on.”
