Red Giant Oil Company was incorporated in 1946 under the original name of E-Z Manufacturing Company which had been selling oil and other products to farmers and farm equipment dealers in the Midwest since 1910 under the Red Giant name. In 1948, the company changed its name permanently to Red Giant Oil Company.

Fred J. Galvani, who had been a salesman for the company, purchased Red giant Oil Company in 1959. Five years later, he purchased Searle Petroleum Company from the Harry Searle family which had owned and operated that lubrication business since 1889.

Red Giant Oil/Searle Petroleum Company also has three other subsidiaries, G & A Resources Management Company, Amata Oils, Inc., and Tri-State Recycling Services, Inc.

In 1970, G & A Resources Management Company and Amata Oils, Inc. were founded. Both companies deal with the oil production of oil wells located around the Falls City, Nebraska Area.

In the mid 1980's, Red Giant Oil/Searle Petroleum Company began selling new railroad engine oil to two Class 1 railroads. Today, the company is the largest supplier of railroad engine oil in North America.

In 1994, the company expanded into fuel oils used by hot batch asphalt plants, packing houses, etc. This led to the 1998 purchase of Tri-State Recycling Services, Inc. which is located in Newcastle, Wyoming. Tri-State Recycling Services, Inc. is a full service recycler of non-hazardous industrial waste which includes used oil, waste water, used filters, etc.

Fred Galvani continued working at the company along with his son-in-law, Gary L. Bills, until his death in 2004. With the untimely death of Mr. Bills in 2005, the company became woman owned by Fred's widow, Lorraine Galvani and his daughter, Sherryl G. Bills. The company remains a family-owned business and continues to expand its lubricating and manufacturing capabilities under the leadership of Ms. Bills and her two sons, David Bills and Kevin Bills.
