Vertex Energy

Vertex Energy is an environmental services company specializing in the recycling of industrial waste streams and off-specification commercial chemical products. Headquartered in Houston, Texas, the company operates primarily in three segments: Black Oil, Refining and Marketing, and Recovery. The Black Oil segment focuses on collecting used motor oil from various generators, aggregating it through a network of regional collectors, and selling it for use as feedstock or replacement fuel in industrial applications. The Refining and Marketing segment handles hydrocarbon streams purchased from refineries and other facilities, producing valuable end products such as gasoline blendstock and fuel oil cutter stock. The Recovery segment provides solutions for the management and recovery of hydrocarbon streams, supported by a fleet of vehicles for transportation and handling. Vertex Energy also utilizes proprietary technology for the re-refining of used motor oil, transforming it into higher-value products, thereby contributing to the reduction of U.S. dependence on foreign crude oil in a compliant and environmentally responsible manner.
