Mansfield Oil announces acquisition of Gas Equipment Systems

Mansfield Oil Company has acquired California-based Gas Equipment Systems, Inc. (GESI), a company that has supplied, constructed or maintained more than 150 compressed natural gas fueling stations in its 13-year history.

As a leader in the compressed natural gas sector, GESI was a natural partner for Mansfield Oil, the nation’s leading provider of end-to-end fuel solutions, said J. Alexander, President and COO of Mansfield. With the addition of compressed natural gas to its current energy portfolio, Mansfield “has solidified its position as the only transportation fuels company with the capability to deliver a complete slate of fuels including gasoline, diesel, biodiesel, ethanol and CNG across the U.S. and Canada.

GESI has provided products and services for customers spanning the government, transit, industrial and school transportation sectors. GESI was recently appointed the North American CNG compressor packager for Gardner Denver, CompAir and BRC/Fuelmaker and also distributes CNG systems for Knox Western, Ingersoll-Rand, AFSC Compressors, PSB Gas Dryers, Kraus Global Dispensers and FuelMaster.

GESI manufactures its compressor skids and its own line of accessory components at their headquarters in Rancho Cucamonga, CA.

Doug Haugh, Executive Vice President and CIO of Mansfield, said: “Now we have the capability and experience to address that demand with the same quality and reliability we deliver with our existing fuels portfolio. Ninety-five percent of the natural gas consumed in the United States is produced domestically, so we see a great opportunity to help our customers save money and reduce their emissions by leveraging the vast natural gas resources recently discovered in the U.S.”

GESI’s products and services solve the infrastructure challenge that customers face in adopting CNG systems, he said. When paired with Mansfield’s national network of fuel supply, the resulting solution allows customers to easily consider CNG as a realistic option to meet their fueling needs at any location across the country.

Mansfield currently delivers fuels to over 20,000 customer locations in the U.S. and Canada.
