Two years ago, RelaDyne proudly welcomed Sun Coast Resources, LLC into their family—and what a journey it’s been. As the nation’s largest lubricant distributor and market leader in fuel, DEF, and industrial reliability services, this partnership marked a significant milestone in our growth strategy. For Sun Coast Resources, LLC, it was the next step in scaling their legacy of service, reliability, and innovation across the U.S. 

As David Schumacher, our Chief Strategy Officer, said at the time, “The combination with Sun Coast is transformational. Their culture and entrepreneurial spirit are unmistakable and completely aligned with RelaDyne’s core values.” That alignment has not only held strong—it’s become the foundation of what we now call “One Team, One Culture.”

Today, as a RelaDyne company, Sun Coast Resources, LLC has grown to market fuels in 49 states, tapping into partnerships with every major fuel supplier. From diesel and gasoline to ethanol, CNG, propane, marine, and aviation fuels—our collective reach and capabilities have never been stronger. And our mission is clear: deliver comprehensive energy solutions with unmatched service and scale.

At the heart of this momentum is our people. Leaders like Terri Bateman, Senior Director of Fuel Supply, have helped guide this integration with insight and dedication. With 31 years at Sun Coast Resources, LLC, Terri has seen the company evolve from a local, family-owned business to a nationally recognized fuel powerhouse. Her leadership ensures our fuel strategy remains agile, efficient, and tailored to our customers.

“We’ve preserved our entrepreneurial spirit and commitment to customer service,” Terri says. “Now, we’re aligned on a unified vision: ‘One Team, One Culture.’”

Together, we’ve expanded from 19 locations to over 100, with a workforce of 4,000+ employees and a fleet of 2,300 delivery vehicles. As a team, we’re delivering not just fuel and lubricants—but reliability, responsiveness, and real solutions.

Perhaps nowhere is this more evident than in emergency response. Sun Coast Resources, LLC has responded to over 75 named storms, providing 24/7 generator fueling, potable water delivery, and rapid-deployment services. From hurricanes like Harvey and Maria to Winter Storm Uri and the historic 2023 hurricane season, we’ve stood shoulder to shoulder—ready to serve.

Looking ahead, our joint goal is continued growth, deeper integration, and greater service to our customers. RelaDyne has completed 55 acquisitions to date—and every move strengthens our position as a market leader in fuel, lubricants, and reliability services.

As Terri puts it, “We now have specialized teams, expanded reach, and a customer-first mindset that allows us to be a complete energy partner.”

At RelaDyne and Sun Coast Resources, LLC, a RelaDyne Company, this isn’t just a partnership—it’s a shared purpose. Together, we own the last mile, and we’re building the future of energy, one delivery, one customer, and one innovation at a time.
