Our Roots
date back to 1951. What started as two brothers purchasing a fuel oil route in Kimberly, Wisconsin, has led to our growth as a comprehensive energy solutions provider. While we’re still privately held and family owned, we’ve expanded our footprint and portfolio to better deliver energy the way you need it.
Backed by 70+ Years of Experience
At U.S. Energy ®, we’re a part of something bigger. For over 70 years, our parent company, U.S. Venture, Inc., has been Finding a Better Way for organizations to operate. From fuel supply to transportation products and services, emissions management technology, and beyond, our 5,000+ person team and family of brands are here to help.
