Martin Resource Management Corporation ("MRMC") of Kilgore, Texas is a leading independent provider of transportation, terminalling, marketing and logistics management services for hydrocarbon products and by-products, chemical and other bulk liquids. MRMC operates throughout North America, with a principal focus in the South and Southeast United States.
That is quite a statement when you consider its founder, R.S. Martin, Jr., started with a single truck and the simple desire to make a living for his family. Born in Camden, Arkansas, Martin graduated from Texarkana, Arkansas High School in 1941 and attended the University of Arkansas until volunteering for the Marine Corps in 1943. As a marine, he served in the 4th Marine Division in four World War II invasions: Marshall Island, Saipan, Tinian and Iwo Jima.
Returning to the University of Arkansas in 1946, he married Margaret Gerig of Arkadelphia, Arkansas, before graduating in 1948 with a business degree with a specialty in marketing.
In 1951, with borrowed money, R.S. started Martin Butane Company in Kilgore, Texas. He drove the only truck and his wife kept books and handled the billing. R.S. persevered with his dream of supplying fuel to drilling rigs in the East Texas oil field. Today, MRMC owns more than $550 million in assets consisting of a fleet of truck trailers and tractors, and have access to assets owned by Martin Midstream Partners L.P. Those customers include many Fortune 500 companies in industries such as petroleum, agriculture, petrochemical and utilities.
