UPI Energy celebrates 20 years of success

In March UPI Energy LP proudly announced its 20th anniversary. Since 1991, UPI has provided quality petroleum, propane, and lubricant products and services to customers across rural Ontario. On an annual basis, UPI markets more than half a billion litres of petroleum, propane, lubricants and energy related services province-wide.

UPI’s 20 year history and timeline of success:

Early 90’s: UPI was renowned for pioneering province wide-marketing of Ethanol-blended gasolines.

2001: UPI opened its first EnviroStation™, a modern, cost effective, above ground storage and dispensing retail gasoline outlet.

2003: UPI became the first in Ontario to retail biodiesel to the agricultural community with the introduction of DIESEL3000™.

2004: UPI expanded its lubricant operations with the acquisition of CASE ’N DRUM OIL Corporation™. Later that same year, the company grew with the acquisition of Damar Fuels, an independent petroleum business which operated in Elmira.

2007 was the launch of E85, a blend of up to 85% ethanol for use in Flex Fuel vehicles. UPI Energy LP’s petroleum, gas bar and cardlock network experienced further expansion with the addition of Ed Taylor Fuels in Cambridge, in 2007, and most recently in June 2010, with Sylvite Fuels & Lubricants in Putnam and Beselaere Fuels & Lubricants in Delhi.

Most recently, Robert Sicard, UPI Energy President and CEO was elected to the Canadian Propane Association’s board of directors.
