Trive Capital has made a strategic investment in Rolfson Oil, an Addison, Texas-based distributor of fuel, oils, and lubricants to the energy sector. The private equity firm joins as Rolfson expands its footprint through the recent acquisition of Flint Logistics Group, an Oklahoma City-based provider of similar services.

The investment comes as Rolfson continues its growth trajectory under CEO Jason Burger. Founded in 1985 by Bill Unser and Royce Rolfson, the company was acquired by Tyton Holdings in 2011 before this latest transaction. The timing suggests Trive sees significant upside in the energy distribution market as demand for fuel and lubricants remains critical to energy infrastructure.

Jay Vise, managing director at Trive Capital, emphasized Rolfson's operational expertise and market-leading position in the energy sector. The deal positions Rolfson to strengthen existing customer relationships and expand into new markets, potentially driving long-term value creation across the energy supply chain.
