What Macro Companies does

Macro Companies, founded in 1929 in Lafayette, Louisiana and now headquartered in Broussard, LA, is a privately held provider of fuel, potable water, and transportation services with a sharp operational focus on disaster response. The company operates five interlocking service lines: Emergency Fuel Management (rapid fuel delivery and on-site fueling of generators, vehicles, and critical infrastructure during hurricanes, tornadoes, wildfires, ice storms, floods, oil spills, and power outages); Potable Water Services (emergency and planned water delivery via a fleet of 130+ stainless steel 6,000-gallon tankers for hospitals, data centers, and industrial facilities); Aviation Fueling (bulk Jet-A and Avgas supply across the Gulf South since 1972); Macro Transportation (petroleum, petrochemical, and aggregate hauling for commercial customers nationwide); and a Truck Center providing certified installation, service, and sales of fuel-dispensing equipment. Underlying delivery rests on what the company describes as the nation's largest company-owned fleet of disaster-response equipment — 700+ assets including bobtail trucks, tankers, transport trucks, mobile fueling stations, military-grade all-terrain vehicles for high-water access, and USCG-approved over-water pumping capability — supported by GPS tracking, V-SAT communications for communications-limited disaster zones, and a proprietary Mobile Fueling App for real-time field reporting across roughly 1.92M captured fuel transactions.

Macro generates revenue through professional services contracts and quote-based pricing (no public pricing or rates are disclosed). The Emergency Fuel Management division is the strategic centerpiece, built around direct, relationship-based enterprise sales to government agencies (FEMA, USACE, DHS, DOD, state emergency management), electric utilities, healthcare providers, data center operators, and commercial enterprises; named end-customers include Walmart (2011 tornado response), Shell/Motiva (Colonial Pipeline spill), and major telecom carriers supporting cell-tower generators. The Aviation Fueling and Transportation divisions add steady-state commercial volume, while the Truck Center contributes hardware sales (ATG systems, dispensers, storage tanks) and certified service revenue. Since 2005 the Emergency Fuel Management division has responded to over 230 disasters across 39 states plus Haiti, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the USVI, and the company's largest single deployment to date — Hurricane Helene 2024 — mobilized over 1,000 trucks and ~1,500 personnel for a six-month mission, dispensing 75 million cumulative gallons. In early 2023 LEMOINE Company acquired a controlling interest, integrating Macro into its Disaster Services group and broadening its positioning across the full disaster-recovery lifecycle; the McElligott family continues to lead the operating company, with Richard McElligott serving as President/CEO.
