Paraco expands cylinder delivery business

Paraco Gas Corp. is making a strategic push in the motor fuel business by entering into separate joint ventures with Georgia-based Atlanta Propane Exchange; Tampa, Fla.-based Florida Lift Gas and Illinois-based Tri-State Propane Exchange, the Rye Brook, N.Y., company announced. Paraco said the ventures are based on its experience running a similar propane cylinder delivery business that services the New York/New Jersey metro area, including the five boroughs of New York City. The current products offered by the three companies support the industry trend of utilizing propane as a commercial fuel for forklifts, lawnmowers and other propane-fueled equipment.
