Jacob Stern & Sons Inc. is a privately owned importer, exporter, processor and distributor of specialty agricultural products. For more than 155 years, our reputation has been synonymous with quality, stability and long-standing relationships. We are one of the longest serving family owned businesses in the U.S. Certainly, that’s success we’re proud of. But we’re even more proud of the way we achieved it—through respect, integrity, dependability and commitment—principles that guided the Stern family long before guiding our company. Today, our company has grown to include two divisions: Acme-Hardesty - located in Blue Bell PA, is one of North America’s largest distributors of oleochemicals, castor oils and derivatives, preservatives and bio-based products. Jacob Stern & Sons – Texas - located in Houston, stores and processes tallow and yellow grease customized to meet the needs and specifications of global partners.

We take pride as being the premier Central Coast-based expert provider of fuel and automotive products. Since our 1933 founding by John B. Dewar – and four generations later - we’ve forged a tradition of family, community, and value, providing the highest quality products to the agriculture, farming, trucking, construction, energy, and repair shop industries for hundreds of miles. We deliver bulk fuels and lubricants to customers whether they’re out in the field or on the construction site - and with 406,000 gallons of fuel storage and 79,000 gallons of bulk oil storage on hand, emergency deliveries can be made in just hours! JB Dewar also offers unmatched control over fleet fuel and maintenance costs with our cardlock fueling program. JB Dewar Pacific Advantage cardholders have access to thousands of commercial fueling locations, fleet managers can control costs, track consumption and odometer readings, prevent unauthorized with no monthly service fees. Choose from 40,000 Fuelman partner locations and over 55,000 Pacific Pride locations. Yet that’s just part of what we do. JB Dewar is most proud of what we do outside the office – in the community – where it counts. We are proud to support organizations like the SLO Food Bank, Mid-State and Santa Barbara Fair, youth livestock organizations, and are excited to advance the learning of the next generation through programs like JB Dewar Tractor Restoration Education Program and the Poly Built team. These are just a few of the organizations that JB Dewar works hard to fuel forward. With eight JB Dewar cardlock fueling locations & three retail Dewar Depots offering filters, coolants, greases and more throughout the Central Coast, our friendly and knowledgeable staff are waiting to assist you. We’re here for you around the clock to fuel your business.
