Supply
We believe one of our company's distinguishing strengths is our procurement
and distribution expertise and capabilities. Our supply division, managed
by a team of industry professionals, helps us to achieve a secure, efficient
source of supply for both our wholesale and retail customers.
This discipline and experience ensures greater access to supply, while lowering
the company's product cost.
Approximately 50% of our annual propane needs for both our retail and wholesale
divisions are term contract purchases from a number of major producers throughout
the U.S. and Canada. These are most often secured for terms of one year. The
balance of our propane is purchased on the spot market from a large and diversified
group of market participants.
Through our transportation division, with trucks operating across the Midwest
and Southeast, we can take advantage of various pricing and distribution inefficiencies
that may exist in the market, enabling us to deliver more propane during periods
of tight supply.
