Today
White Tucker has grown to 48,000 square feet of warehouse inventory with over 15,000 stocking items. We have 3 branches conveniently located in north, south and central Texas. We carry product lines from over 100 manufacturers. Our customers are primarily in the areas of petroleum marketing: service station equipment, aviation refueling supplies, supplies and equipment for the hydrocarbon chemical processing industry.
Although we have seen tremendous growth in the industry over the years and have made great advancements to keep up with today's technologies, we know the importance of providing the personal attention our customers have always known. Customer relationships continue to be the driving force behind the companies' success.
White Tucker's reputation of trust and dependability can be seen in our partnerships with our manufacturers, customers and communities.
Being in business for 114 years certainly makes us unique; however, managing the present and planning for the future, far outweigh reflecting on the past.
