Superior Plus acquires Western Propane Service

Superior Plus Corp. acquired Western Propane Service, based in Santa Maria, California.

Founded in 1988, Western is an independent retail propane distributor serving about 6,000 retail and commercial customers in Southern California.

“The acquisition of Western is Superior’s first tuck-in acquisition in 2020 and second retail propane acquisition in California,” says Luc Desjardins, president and CEO of Superior Plus. “This acquisition demonstrates our commitment to growing our retail footprint in California, which is the largest retail propane market in the U.S.”

Superior Plus consists of two primary operating businesses: Energy Distribution includes the distribution of propane and distillates, and supply portfolio management; Specialty Chemicals includes the production and sale of specialty chemicals.

Within the past 18 months, Superior Plus completed the acquisitions of United Pacific Energy in California, Phelps Sungas and Porco Energy in New York, and Musco Fuel & Propane in Connecticut.
