Company Profile
Wolverine Pipe Line Company
Company Overview
Wolverine Pipe Line Company is a liquid petroleum transportation service company, headquartered in Portage, Michigan, and incorporated in 1952. We are a small operator with pipeline in Michigan, Indiana and Illinois.
Wolverine does not own the product we ship. We are strictly a transport vehicle for our customers, much like UPS or FedEx is for packages. The Federal Government regulates the tariffs Wolverine charges to transport products between origins and destinations.
Wolverine operates ~700 miles of active steel pipeline across three states in the Midwest, connecting Chicago refineries to terminals in Northwest Indiana all the way to numerous locations in Michigan. We transport over 15 million gallons of refined products a day. This large amount of product that we transport provides over 30% of Michigan’s refined products supply. We are proud to deliver the products that fuel your adventures.
