Our People
​

Advanced Performance Services, Inc. (APS) services the heavy duty lubrication and diesel fuel treatment needs for fleets, industrial, commercial and heavy duty end-users. We match a premier full-line lubricant and fuel treatment supplier with customers who demand outstanding product quality, superior customer service, and competitive product pricing. APS is wholly owned and operated by Todd Hayes and Greg Davidson. Together, we have over 60 years of combined experience in the oil, lubricant, and fuel industry.

APS represents well over 30 major brands of lubricants, antifreeze, and specialty products. Because we offer our customers such a wide selection of lubricants and brands, we provide the opportunity for end-users to optimize equipment performance while lowering operating expense. We are absolutely convinced of our ability to achieve this goal, and our track record of similar successes speaks for itself. One such success is with Clearwater Harvester, Inc., and here is what Ron Hilyer, the owner, has to say about APS:

“We operate mostly in Alabama and have been using APS as our lubricant supplier since 2007.  APS has always offered a great oil selection, competitive prices, with outstanding service. They always have the brand we want and if we run out of product they are here.The folks at APS know the logging business and they are always on top of the new equipment requirements, as well as the ​new oil specs. That gives us a good comfort level that we are always using the right oil for the application.”

Our History
​

Prior to launching APS in 2007, we both managed separate lubricant and fuel distribution companies with combined annual revenues exceeding 30 million dollars, and we have brought that expertise and knowledge into APS. The unique quality that distinguishes our company from others is our sole focus on our “one stop shop” concept coupled with superior customer satisfaction. The reception from our customers has been overwhelmingly positive, as folks operating businesses need service and quality at good prices. Because we are both hands on owners, we simply are better equipped to communicate, manage, and completely oversee all activity as it relates to serving customers with competitive prices, and with precise attention to detail. 

Along with Todd’s previous extensive career with a long-time regional oil company, he has experience in the logging and ​timber industry including internships with some of the largest equipment manufactures in the world. He holds a degree from Auburn University in Forestry Engineering, and also owns and operates CTH, Inc. which supplies transportation services for the wood chip
and automotive parts industries. He has
​held freight contracts with Kimberly Clark, Bowater, and Kia tier two automotive suppliers as well.
​
Greg graduated from Auburn University with a bachelor’s degree in both physical distribution and transportation from the School of Business. In addition to managing

a large oil company prior to forming APS,
​he owns Integrated Trans Solutions which provides consulting services for both the trucking and lubricant industries. He has worked alongside some of the largest oil companies in helping develop oil formulations and brands for companies such as Kolher Engines, Yanmar, and Branson Tractor.
