FS PARTNERS and Rothsay Biodiesel announce strategic partnership

FS PARTNERS and Rothsay Biodiesel, one of Canada’s leading biodiesel producers, have announced a new partnership to deliver  blended biodiesel to Maple Leaf Foods fleets in Ontario.

With this alliance, FS PARTNERS further solidifies its reputation as an innovator in the Canadian energy market by developing a solution to deliver blended fuel using Rothsay biodiesel for Maple Leaf fleets. The final blended product will be shipped out of the Port of Hamilton, where both companies store their biodiesel products.

“With each new business venture, it becomes more apparent that biodiesel is the way of the future,” says Tom O’Neill, FS PARTNERS Energy Sales Manager. “Partnering with a company like Rothsay Biodiesel, that is also a leader in driving sustainability in agriculture and the environment, is a positive step forward for both organizations.”

“This is a very positive development for Rothsay Biodiesel and the Canadian biofuels industry,” says Todd Moser, Vice President Alternative Energy for Rothsay. “This partnership advances our biofuels fleet fuelling program by coupling our high quality, sustainable biodiesel with FS PARTNERS’ established petroleum and biofuels distribution and blending capabilities. It gives us the platform to continue expanding the benefits of using cleaner, environmentally friendly renewable commercial fuels in the Canadian market.”

Rothsay, a division of Maple Leaf Foods Inc., is a leader in the Canadian biodiesel industry and one of the largest producers of recycled value-added products including the production of animal feed ingredients, amino acid supplements, and alternative fuel by converting edible and inedible by-products. It operates five rendering facilities nationwide and a commercial-scale biodiesel facility in Montreal.
