Laid off, middle-aged and starting over
When there is a company merger or acquisition, it is a disruptive and traumatic event for its employees and managers. By the age of 49, the founder had various titles and positions over the last 30 years with multiple oil and gas companies. After the third company that the founder was employed for was acquired by a much larger company, he decided it was time for a different kind of fresh start. He decided to use his skills, knowledge, and experience to seize the opportunity to create a new high-quality product and company, FleetMaxx Lubricants in November 2007.
