U.S. Oil, the petroleum and renewable energy distribution division of U.S. Venture, Inc. announced today that it has acquired a Milwaukee area terminal from Marathon Petroleum Corporation, based in Findlay, Ohio. The terminal, located at 9125 North 107th Street will add 530,000 barrels of capacity to the U.S. Oil network and will expand its distribution network to 20 terminals.
U.S. Oil owns and operates strategically-located terminals in Milwaukee, Green Bay, Chippewa Falls and Madison, Wisconsin; Cheboygan and Rogers City, Michigan; Bettendorf, Iowa; and Houston, Fort Worth and Bryan, Texas.
