Generations of Fuel: The Windecker Legacy
In 1980, Edward Windecker founded Windecker Inc in Los Banos, CA, after working with Standard Oil for 35 years. Edward's passion for the fuel industry and commitment to serving the local community paved the way for the company's growth. With the help of his son John, Windecker Inc quickly became a trusted fuel distributor and a pioneer in agricultural fuel supply.
After Edward's retirement in 1988, John expanded the company through strategic partnerships and new ventures, including opening a Chevron gas station in Los Banos in 1999. In 1993, John partnered with CFN to provide customers with access to a nationwide commercial fueling network.
In 2006, Brett Windecker, John's son, joined the company and introduced new tools to help customers manage their fuel supply and control price volatility. In 2011, Windecker became one of the earliest entrants into the renewable fuels market and is now one of the largest biodiesel suppliers in Northern California.
Today, Brett serves as Vice President and CEO, while John continues to work as the active President. Windecker Fuel's story is about community commitment, family legacy, and a forward-thinking approach to fuel services. We remain dedicated to helping customers buy fuel better while staying true to our core values.
