Anderes Oils fleet of tank trucks also serve local automotive service stations and airtaxi businesses. The Mobil connection to Anderes Oil, Inc. is significant. Anderes Oil is Alaska's oldest Mobil distributor of automotive, commercial and industrial lubricants. Finally, Anderes Oil, Inc. is a family business whose roots with Mobil and southeast Alaska span a century, and four generations of Anderes have lived in Ketchikan since 1918. Mobil, through subsidiary General Petroleum, first appeared in Ketchikan in 1922 to serve the halibut schooner fleet. The name Anderes became prominent in southeast Alaska when brothers Ernie and Cal became a Mobil consignee's in 1963 and then distributor's in 1986. Anderes Oil's success is based on three premises: Alaska-style personal service, competitive pricing and quality products. "We're a family business and we treat our customers as members of the family," partner Dave Anderes emphasizes. "For instance, we're open for business every day with convenient hours during both summer and winter and our long association with Mobil enables us to advise our customers of new and improved Mobil products which can complement their needs and lower costs." Anderes Oil's satisfied customer list reads like a "Who's Who in Southeast Alaska": Ketchikan Pulp Co., Boyer Towing, Phillips Cold Storage, Southeast Stevedoring, US Coast Guard, Ketchikan Community College, Ketchikan Gateway School District, Ward Cove Service, Tatsuda's Gas-At-Last, Alaska Troopers/Fish & Game, plus loggers, road builders, commercial fishermen, pleasure and charter boat skippers and hundreds of Ketchikan residents and businesses who depend on Anderes Oil's "Keep Full" heating fuel service. Anderes Oil, Inc. has also led the way in complying with environmental concerns. Going the extra mile, the storage tanks have double bottoms with leak detectors and upgraded concrete containment areas with separators and the marine facilities are outfitted with containment booms and the necessary equipment to meet practically any situation.
