In 1929, Elmer J. Goetz founded the Elmer J. Goetz Oil Corporation. His corporation was a key distributor for the American Oil Company, which was founded in Baltimore in 1910. When Elmer J. Goetz passed away, ownership of the corporation was passed to his brother, Carl H. Goetz. In 1942, sales manager Leonard B. Schintzius purchased equity in the Elmer J. Goetz Oil Corporation. AMOCO purchased a majority of the assets of the corporation in 1954. Certain segments of the business were retained by Carl H. Goetz and Leonard B. Schintzius and were reorganized later that year as Goetz Oil Corporation.
Carl H. Goetz passed away in 1960 and Leonard B. Schintzius continued to operate the business until his own death in 1971. Multiple generations of the Schintzius family continue to operate the business today. In 1988, the name was changed from Goetz Oil Corporation to Goetz Energy Corporation to better reflect the broad scope of the company’s offerings to its customers. Today, Goetz Energy Corporation remains a trusted partner for the customers it serves throughout the Northeast and upper Midwest.
