In 1931, Jacob Guttman started his business with a single gas station in McKeesport, PA.
For decades, industrial, commercial, retail, and transportation operations across the eastern United States have trusted Guttman for fuel distribution, delivery, and customized service.
On November 30, 2022, Guttman Energy, one of the region’s largest private companies, Guttman Renewables, and Source One Transportation, united to form one new Company – Guttman Holdings as part of an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). The companies within this ESOP will continue to market under their current names, in the same markets, and are expected to continue their significant growth and success.
Guttman Holdings is a full-service fuel distribution enterprise that provides customers with the safest, most efficient, customized, and comprehensive fuel delivery and service possible. Now as one energized, engaged, and employee-owned and led team, each of us at Guttman Holdings has a heightened sense of commitment to our customers and vendors’ goals, our Company, and our performance.
United by a common purpose, our vision is to build a stronger future for all our stakeholders, by taking personal ownership of our Company’s growth, and ensuring our collective long-term success.
