Guttman Energy, Inc.

What Guttman Energy, Inc. does

Guttman Energy, Inc. is a wholesale fuel distribution and services company founded in 1931 and headquartered in Belle Vernon, Pennsylvania. The company supplies fuel products and customized energy solutions to commercial, industrial, retail, and governmental organizations across the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and Midwest United States, with regional operations further anchored by an East Coast office in Bel Air, Maryland. Its core offerings include wholesale bulk fuel distribution (on- and off-road diesel, gasoline, distillates, additives, natural gas, CNG, propane, heating oil, and kerosene) and the Guttman Energy Fleet Fuel Card — a no-fee, no-contract commercial fleet fueling program with nationwide network acceptance. Since November 2022, the company has operated as a 100% employee-owned enterprise under the ESOP-formed Guttman Holdings, Inc., alongside two wholly owned operating subsidiaries: Source One Transportation (logistics and delivery) and Guttman Renewables (carbon offsets, ethanol, and biodiesel).

The technology stack is anchored by the Right Angle ERP system, which manages pipeline scheduling, terminal inventory, and supply logistics, with billing operations integrated through the Fuelman system and HR/payroll on Paycom. Value-added services extend the core distribution business into mobile refueling, fuel inventory management, fixed-pricing programs, winter operability additives, Diesel Exhaust Fluid, and a customizable carbon offset program that uses EIA-based carbon dioxide conversion coefficients to translate fuel consumption into offset obligations. Guttman Renewables also launched a carbon-neutral fuel initiative in January 2023 in conjunction with Source One Transportation.

Revenue is generated primarily on a transaction basis: volume-based pricing on bulk fuel sales, take-rate economics on fleet card transactions, and per-gallon pricing on carbon offsets, supplemented by managed-services revenue from transportation and mobile refueling. The go-to-market is sales-led enterprise field sales with dedicated regional sales representatives, augmented by industry trade show presence (American Towman Expo, Eastern Energy Expo, Frac Sand Supply and Logistics Conference, among others) and a content-marketing engine built around the Fuel Matters Blog. The customer base is diversified across 13 named vertical segments — Transportation/Trucking, Oil & Gas, Construction, Government & Schools, Marine, Mining, Waste Management, Distributors & Jobbers, Food Service, Agriculture, Power & Utility, Rail, and C-Store/Retail — with no single customer or vertical appearing to dominate. Per a November 2022 disclosure, the company is one of the region's largest private companies with approximately $4 billion in total revenue.
