Founded in 1972 in Mount Jackson, Virginia, Holtzman Oil Corp has grown to become the largest oil company in the Shenandoah Valley and surrounding regions. Initially launched by Bill Holtzman, who transitioned from the apple industry to fuel distribution, the company started small, with just three oil trucks and a handful of employees. Over the decades, Holtzman Oil expanded its offerings, including propane delivery, lubricants, HVAC services, and an auto service center, thus catering to residential, commercial, and agricultural customers.
Holtzman’s core values are rooted in integrity, honesty, and a commitment to community, which have driven its steady growth. Today, it serves over 150 gas stations and tens of thousands of customers while employing more than 300 individuals. The company prides itself on its local heritage and the collaborative spirit of its workforce, which has enabled many employees to rise through the ranks over the years.
The company firmly believes in providing high-quality products and exceptional customer service, ensuring that the communities it operates in benefit from its presence. Besides its fuel distribution operations, Holtzman Oil offers supplemental services such as a fully equipped auto repair shop and Valley Ice, a bagged ice distribution venture. With a vast distribution network across Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania, Holtzman Oil continues to prioritize customer needs and community enrichment as it evolves in the energy sector.
