Our people help drive the local economy forward

In Ohio and the Twin Ports region of Wisconsin and Minnesota, we rely on the energy of thousands of workers to keep our refineries running safely and reliably. Our people contribute their hard work and technical knowledge to our operations, helping us produce the fuels that keep the Midwest moving, and drive our local economies.
