A Legacy of Family and Service
The company roots stretch back to Crawford & Vogel’s founding in the 40’s—when integrity, hard work and handshake were the foundation of every customer relationship. That trust still defines us today and we instill that in all our employees.
Herb Wenzel was an oil driver for Crawford & Vogel after getting out of the service. He then bought his own oil truck and went into business for himself running it out of his home. He bought his oil from Crawford & Vogel while keeping a good relationship with them. He then purchased them in 1978, and the company became Crawford-Vogel & Wenzel Oil. Mike Wenzel his son joined the company in 1987 and has since purchased the company and Presently owns and operates the company along with key employees Jeanine Bourque Hood from Bourque Oil and Scott Bellemore from Bellemore Oil.

Manchester, NH Heating Oil History
Before the Wenzel family took over in 1978, it was just Crawford – Vogel Oil company. Many of the beautiful, historic buildings in Manchester were serviced by them.
As you can see in this historic picture (circa 1940-1950), the original Crawford – Vogel garage and oil storage tank.
The smoke stack is still standing as a memorial to Manchester’s great past.
