RETIF CELEBRATES ITS 60th ANNIVERSARY
In 2025, Retif Oil & Fuel proudly celebrates 60 years of delivering energy to build communities across the Gulf Coast. Since 1965, we’ve remained a family-owned business committed to fueling growth, supporting local industries, and building strong relationships.
This anniversary holds special meaning as we honor the legacy of our founder, Milton J. Retif, who passed away on September 21, 2024. His vision and dedication laid the foundation for our success, and we continue to uphold his commitment to excellence.
As we look to the future, we remain dedicated to innovation, sustainability, and delivering energy to build communities for generations to come. Thank you for being part of our journey—here’s to 60 years of fueling communities and many more ahead!
Founding
Founding owner, Milton Retif. What began as one man’s idea grew into a thriving business—now three generations strong.
Evolution of Retif
Westside Oil Company becomes Retif Oil and Fuel, ushering in a new era.
1 Million Gallons Sold
Retif reached the 1 million GALLON mark with ExxonMobil Lubricants, our first-ever major lubricant partner—a pivotal step in our growth in the lubricants sector.
First Expansion
As Retif continued to grow, our original Destrehan facility could no longer keep up with demand. We opened a second location just a few miles away to support our expansion and better serve our customers. That bulk plant still operates today, continuing to support our operations.
Retif Turns 60
For over six decades, Retif has proudly served the Gulf Coast—now employing 400+ people across the region. Our journey continues, thanks to the dedication of our employees and, most importantly, the loyalty of our customers.
