Cardwell Distributing, Inc. is a mid-sized oil and gas distributor based in Midvale, Utah. Founded in 1964 by Lowell J. Cardwell, the company supplies lubricants, motor fuels, and fleet fueling services to industrial, commercial, and retail petroleum customers. A key milestone was the 2002 acquisition of Hutchinson Oil, which extended Cardwell's reach to more than 3,000 customers across Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, Idaho, and Nevada and broadened its vendor contracting and delivery network. The firm has pursued a strategic alliance with Shell for lubricants marketing and collaborates with other major fuel distributors to support a combined supply of gasoline and diesel fuels that exceeds 70 million gallons. In November 2016, RelaDyne LLC announced it had acquired Cardwell Distributing of Utah, marking a change in ownership within the sector.
