CLASS RACER FORUM - Lucas oil moving to Indy

Automotive lubricant company Lucas Oil Products this month will publicly debut its new corporate headquarters next to Keystone at the Crossing, after buying a building adjacent to the office park last year.

The company, whose name adorns the Indianapolis Colts? downtown stadium, is relocating its main base from Corona, California where it has been located since its founding in 1989 to Indianapolis. The new headquarters is a two-story office building at 3610 River Crossing Parkway, north of the Fashion Mall at Keystone and immediately south of Interstate 465.

An affiliate of the firm acquired the 16-year-old building in August 2023 for $9.5 million. Lucas Oil Products has spent about $30 million on its operations in the state since 2020, including an unspecified amount to renovate the building. A portion of that investment went toward the company's new grease plant in Corydon that opened this year.

This transition to Indianapolis just makes sense for Lucas Oil. Indianapolis is not only home to our family, but most importantly, Indiana makes sense for us to do business in, Morgan Lucas, CEO of Lucas Oil Products, said in written responses to questions from IBJ.

Our headquarters was based in Corona for 33 years, and due to various factors it was time for us to relocate and consolidate our locations within Indiana, Lucas said. Moving our headquarters across the country was not a decision we made lightly, but we felt like this was the best place for us to continue to grow our efforts as a business while providing a great quality of life for our team.

Lucas Oil primarily sells engine oils, additives and lubricants for a variety of users ranging from everyday drivers to motorsports teams, motorcyclists, agricultural workers and boat owners, with more than 300 products.
