Reinvigorating Success: New Hampshire mainstay in the oil and gas business, Palmer Gas Ermer Oil, share their rebranding plans for continued success
Longevity in the oil and gas industry is a key indicator of success, and Palmer Gas Ermer Oil’s 83 years in business only prove this point. The oil company, founded in 1932 by current owner Bill Ermer’s father, Charles A. Ermer, sold oil and kerosene. A general merchandise store, founded by William Palmer, expanded into propane in 1949. Bill began his work at the general store and later combined the fuel oil and propane business, which has since grown his business into a 100-employee operation with a fleet of 60 vehicles.
Bill Ermer has worn many hats as president of Palmer Gas Ermer Oil. The company was into coal until the early 1980s, and is currently offering propane, fuel oil and several delivery services for their clients. And although the company is located in New Hampshire—one of the harshest climates during the U.S.’s winter—it has one of the best networks of fuel storage in the region.
“Bill has really had a focus on the future throughout his time developing this company,” Joe Trefethen, general manager, shared. “He’s created a fuel storage infrastructure that has really allowed our company to deliver for our customers. Here in New Hampshire, our competitors may have one or two days’ worth of fuel on hand to deliver to their customers at any given time. When we get snowstorms here in the far north, supply can sometimes be interrupted. Bill has really made key investments in fuel storage facilities so that our customers know we have the products they need to keep their homes warm and keep things going even in a challenging winter.”
With a strong foundation and rebranding effort underway, Palmer Gas Ermer Oil is paving the way for a successful future in the industry.
