United Refining Company is an independent refiner and marketer of petroleum products.  We fuel cars, trucks, farm and construction equipment and heat homes and businesses in Pennsylvania and portions of New York and Ohio.

United was founded in 1902 in the cradle of the world petroleum industry.  From the start we have cherished a role of independence in an industry that has been dominated by the giants.  For over 100 years we have remained a free and innovative force in the marketplace helping to bring the benefits of healthy competition to the people of our region.

United owns and operates a modern, fully equipped refinery.  While primary emphasis is placed upon maximizing yields of motor gasoline and distillate fuels, the refinery produces a full range of petroleum products.  In addition to unleaded gasoline, our products include kerosene, diesel fuel, Number 2 home heating oil, industrial fuels, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), propane and several grades of asphalts.
Through the years, United has continued to grow by expanding and optimizing the refinery and by acquisition and the building of new locations in our retail gasoline and convenience store business.  Today we have over 350 retail outlets in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and New York, which include service station/convenience stores, truck stops, restaurants and garages.  The locations are branded Kwik Fill / Red Apple Food Marts and Country Fair.
