Petroleum & Industrial Solutions
Who We Are
Our Story
AVE Petroleum focuses on innovation in the lubrication industry. The company
serves various industries by manufacturing outstanding quality products at a fair
price and is recognized by customers for personal and positive service experience.
Our Heritage
History
Miles Petroleum was established in 1937 as a supplier of petroleum based lubricants.
The idea of supplying the general public with lubricants began with Jack Stern.
In the early days, the transportation of oil and lubricants was delivered in steel
containers that looked like milk cans.
Jack’s vision was to supply superior quality products with exceptional customer
service. His son, Morton, worked closely with him and helped expand the company’s
knowledge, formulas and applications for mineral based motor oil, hydraulic and
metalworking fluids.
In 1965, Morton Stern inherited the company from his father and became the new
president of Miles. Under his supervision, the Miles brand continued to expand
and developed formulations covering new applications suitable for new industries.
Miles developed not only as a lubricant formulator but also as a licensed
distributor of Shell, Gulf, Lubriplate and other major brands.
Throughout his presidency, Morton Stern acquired two new buildings, additional
equipment, storage tanks and a fleet to support the company’s growth.
Angela Stern was very dedicated and supportive of her husband, Morton Stern,
and Miles Petroleum. Angela became the Executive Business Manager in 1985.
Upon the passing of Morton Stern in 1993, she became President and CEO of
Miles Petroleum.
As the market expanded and technology continued to grow, Mrs. Stern led a team
of engineers and specialists that enhanced the Miles brand and developed
specialty products using the latest lubricant technologies.
The formulations covered the latest technology from mineral based oils to
sophisticated synthetic specialties, including PAO Polyalphaolefins, Esters
and Diesters. This new product line brought tremendous success and reached
nationwide popularity.
In 2014, Angela Stern established AVE Petroleum to respond to national demand
for Miles products. AVE Petroleum became a leader in developing modern lubricant
technologies and logistics systems.
