Two Brothers aims to become the leading supplier of petroleum and petroleum products. The mainstay of our strategy will be to offer a level of client focus that is superior to that offered by our competitors.
To help achieve this objective, Two Brothers seeks to attract highly motivated individuals that want to work as a team and share in the commitment, responsibility, risk taking and discipline required to achieve our vision. Part of attracting these special individuals will be to build a culture that promotes both uniqueness and a bias for action.

This success will in turn enable Two Brothers to give its employees above average compensation and innovative benefits or rewards, key elements in helping us maintain our leadership position in the marketplace.
