About Us
Sage Oil Vac's mission is to be the most recognized manufacturer and provider of value added oil change and fluid exchange solutions in the world. Sage Oil Vac provides industries with a unique concept for conducting on-site oil changes and maintenance that creates user friendly, cost effective and efficient working environments. Our equipment will be preferred over traditional on-site oil change equipment and desired by industries traditionally not using equipment for on-site fluid handling.
"Necessity is the mother of all invention". When Gary Sage became frustrated with changing oil on his farm's irrigation engines, he decided there had to be a better way.
In 1993, he built the first unit which would come to be known as the Oil-Vac. A friend saw the unit and asked Sage to build him a unit, another friend saw the Oil-Vac and the Sages had their second order.
From 1993 to 2001, Gary continued to build units for agriculture sector and also branched into sales to other commercial customers. Gary realized that quality equipment for oil recovery and oil transportation was a necessity for commercial operations using large amounts of oil or fluids.
In 2001, Gary and his wife, Helen, made the decision to move their Oil Vac operations to Amarillo, TX and promote Oil Vac systems full-time. Sage Oil Vac was fortunate to be chosen as a client of the West Texas A&M University Enterprise Network. Their son, Aaron, and son-in-law, Phil Seidenberger, made the decisions to join Sage Oil Vac. In 2002, Sage Oil Vac was awarded a grant from the Amarillo Economic Development Corporation as a winner of the Enterprise Challenge.
In 2005, the company graduated from the Enterprise Network and moved into an existing 3,000 square foot office space and built a 24,000 square foot manufacturing facility. With the assistance of the AEDC in the form of an interest rebate program, much needed capital as been invested in product R&D and sales and marketing. Sage Oil Vac now offers 25 standard trailer- and skid-mounted units, up from the original 5 units.
