Salathe Oil Company

Salathe Oil Company is the oldest petroleum wholesaler In the New Orleans metropolitan area. The company is owned and operated by a third – generation Salathe. Salathe Oil Company supplies wholesale petroleum products for the automotive, industrial, commercial, marine, and aviation sectors.

During the 1920’s, Erwin Salathe Sr., knew his neighbors depended on him to heat and light their homes. Salathe felt strongly about his responsibility to his customers and his community, and he instilled that same sense of dependability in his second, third and fourth generation heirs to the family business.

Although much has changed since 1926, the tradition of providing de pendable service and high quality products endures. Salathe Oil is proud to serve the same local community it did 83 years ago.
