Morgan Distributing, Inc. was founded in 1954 by John R. Morgan. John traveled throughout central Illinois expanding his distribution area one personal visit at a time. In 1999, the merger with Parkinson Oil Company brought two of the largest lubricant suppliers in central Illinois together to market both Exxon and Mobil products under the direction of CEO, Gary Morgan. The merger of Exxon and Mobil corporations enhanced product lines and streamlined supplier delivery to MDI’s customers.
