Breaux Petroleum Products237 N Barrios St, Lockport, Louisiana, United States

The name Breaux has long been affiliated with dependability and service in the petroleum products field. Breaux Petroleum Products in Lockport is an established distributor of quality products for energy, automotive, marine, industrial and aviation needs in South Louisiana.  A.P. Breaux was the first Shell jobber in Louisiana. A.P. started out in the early 1900s in the grocery and produce business. He later used barges to collect produce from farmers along Bayou Lafourche and ship to the New Orleans market through the Company Canal at Lockport. But as Louisianas roads got better, A.P.s barge business got worse. So again he diversified. By 1922 he was hauling crude oil from the Leeville Field, a true pioneer in the vital Louisiana industry, and formed A.P. Breaux & Sons. His business grew and so did the number of quality Shell products he distributed throughout Lafourche: gasoline, oil, diesel and kerosene.  The second generation saw A.P. Breauxs sons split in to two oil distributors serving the South Louisiana region with both Amoco and Shell. In 1987, the two companies—each with established reputations—merged together to form what is now the modern-day Breaux Petroleum Products.  Today under the guidance of the fourth and fifth generations, Breaux Petroleum continues to sustain its 93-year relationship with Shell and has further expanded its capabilities through its newest partnership with CITGO. 

THE BREAUX DIFFERENCE

If you know how to pronounce the name, we know your business. Breaux Petroleum has served South Louisiana since 1922. Our family has been here through the good times and the bad, and will be here for years to come. We have a special connection with South Louisiana. We know the people, we know the industries, and we know what it takes to make it in this area. We treat our employees and customers like family because thats the only way we know how.  Just like your secret family gumbo recipe, Breaux Petroleum has a secret recipe for success. It involves a few of the things that make South Louisiana such a special place:

• After Hurricane Katrina, Breaux Petroleum was back up and running as soon as we could be. We were supplying law enforcement, emergency services and electrical contractors with fuel so they could keep us safe and perform their job the way we needed them to. We were also able to open a few convenience stores to make sure our neighbors had gas, ice and the necessary supplies we could provide.
•  in addition to being there when our neighbors needed us most, Breaux Petroleum also supports local charities and organizations. Many of our employees are in the local Rotary Club. Also, we annually give to the United Way, The Special Olympics, The Salvation Army and we also sponsor Central Lafourche High Schools Project Graduation. You can also find our Breaux Petroleum tent at local school events, charity fishing rodeos, fundraisers and any other events that provide us the opportunity to help out our local community.
• When your business does well, we do well. For this reason we want you to think of Breaux Petroleum as more than just your supplier of fuel and lubricants, we want you to think of us as your partner in business. We routinely help our customers find solutions to help them save time, increase their equipment life, boost productivity and most importantly, save money!

Services

• We pride ourselves on great service. One of the most important parts of service is delivery, on-time and in full. Breaux Petroleum has capacity for over 200,000 gallons of bulk oil, over 100,000 gallons of fuel and over 100,000 square feet of warehouse space allowing us to keep one of the largest and most diverse oil inventories in the area.
• Used oil analysis has become an important part of the lubrication process. Analysis of your used oil can give you an important look at what is going on inside your engine or system. It can also help prolong the life of your equipment. A regimented sample and analysis program can save you money and decrease downtime.
• Lubrication of your equipment isn’t always treated with the importance that it should be. Breaux Petroleum realizes this is often an after thought within most companies. However, with a proper lubrication culture you can reduce downtime, increase equipment life, improve equipment efficiency and ultimately drive up profits.
