Prime Lube adds Pennsylvania DEF distributor

Carteret, N.J.-Prime Lube Inc. has established a presence in central and western Pennsylvania for its BlueSky diesel exhaust fluid (DEF), signing on long-term partner and petroleum marketer J.J. Powell Inc. as the distributor in that area. Prime Lube said the deal enables J.J. Powell, the largest distributor of lubricants, diesel fuel, and heating oil to commercial fleet and industrial consumers in the region, to distribute BlueSky throughout 15 counties, covering the region from Lewistown and Phillipsburg to Bellefonte and Clearfield. J.J. Powell operates nearly a dozen Pacific Pride stations in the area. In April, Prime Lube announced its partnership with Germany’s Kruse Group – a leading global DEF manufacturer and raw materials supplier – to manufacture and distribute BlueSky DEF throughout the Mid-Atlantic region.
