“We are incredibly proud to relocate our global headquarters to Indianapolis,” said Morgan Lucas, CEO of Lucas Oil Products. “This move marks a new chapter for Lucas Oil, and we’re eager to officially put down our roots and build on our current partnerships here. We are committed to continuing to grow and innovate, and with all of our family history in Indiana, it feels like we are truly coming home.”
Lucas Oil products – including more than 300 types of high-performance engine oils, additives and lubricants – can be bought all over the world and are essential for everyday car users, as well as industrial and agricultural workers, racing athletes, hobbyists, including those with boats, motorcycles, and historic cars, and outdoor enthusiasts.
The new headquarters include state-of-the-art offices with premium employee amenities and a museum space with memorabilia and photos. The building also houses a production studio for creating content on-site and is large enough for Lucas Oil team members to move vehicles in and out of the building to accommodate for shoots. Work done at the headquarters will support the research and development labs and grease manufacturing facility in Corydon, Indiana, which opened earlier this year. The building was constructed by Meyer Najem with interior design by Parallel Design Group, exterior design by Architects Forum, landscaping design by OEG, signage by Eye4 Group, furniture by Office Works and support from ALO Property Management.
“As we open our new headquarters, we want to celebrate the dedication and loyalty of our team members,” said Katie Lucas, president of Lucas Oil Products. “We are incredibly grateful for our team’s hard work and commitment and providing them with a beautiful space to work is one way we can say thank you. The heart of Lucas Oil is to serve others and we look forward to continuing to serve our people, our customers and certainly those in our community.”
Lucas Oil Products has expanded significantly in Indiana, adding an additional 110 employees between the team at the new Indianapolis Headquarters property, the Corydon grease plant, and MAVTV. MAVTV, the only cable network in the country dedicated solely to motorsports, will also be based in the new Lucas Oil headquarters, running the day to day operations of the television network from the first floor of the building.
Lucas Oil’s headquarters were previously located in California and this move to consolidate efforts in Indiana will streamline operations and enhance efficiency to help the Lucas Oil team better serve its customer base all over the world. The decision to move the headquarters to Indianapolis comes as part of the company’s long-term growth strategy and commitment to innovation. By centralizing its operations in Indianapolis, the company aims to streamline its processes, drive further innovation, and strengthen its position as a global leader in the automotive performance product sector.
