AMSOIL ACTION NEWS / AUGUST 2007 7
Since the purchase of the AMSOIL Center in Superior,
Wis. three years ago, the building has been buzzing with
activity. Not only does it serve as the Superior distri-
bution center and warehouse, the Technical Department
moved into its newly renovated office space at the
AMSOIL Center in January. In May, the AMSOIL Center
hosted the AMSOIL University Race Night barbecue,
featuring 15 corporately sponsored race teams and
their 22 vehicles.
The continued healthy growth of AMSOIL INC. and
ever-increasing demand for AMSOIL products has
prompted a $15 million AMSOIL Center Bulk Plant
Expansion Project designed to increase blending capac-
ity by 250 percent, add new storage tanks, increase
overall efficiency and prepare AMSOIL to meet
increased product demands well into the future. The
project is currently underway and is expected to be
completed by the end of the year.
“The AMSOIL commitment to growth is best shown
through our actions and investment,” said Vice President
of Operations Scott Davis. “The purchase of the L-R: Vice President of Finance John Hosler, Executive Vice
