Building on our success

Building on Our Success

Superior is a leading North American distributor of propane, compressed natural gas, renewable energy and related products and services, servicing approximately 936,500 customer locations in the U.S. and Canada. Through its primary businesses, propane distribution and CNG, RNG and hydrogen distribution, Superior safely delivers clean burning fuels to residential, commercial, utility, agricultural and industrial customers not connected to a pipeline. By displacing more carbon intensive fuels, Superior is a leader in the energy transition and helping customers lower operating costs and improve environmental performance.

After the success of the Evolution 2020 strategic plan, Management unveiled our Superior Way Forward strategic plan, which is our pathway to generating shareholder returns and growing the business. Our ambitious goal of the Superior Way Forward is to grow EBITDA from Operations from $402 million in 2020 to a range of $700 million to $750 million by the end of 2026. We expect to increase the EBITDA from Operations through our growth through acquisition initiative, organic growth initiative, continuous improvement and commercial demand recovery.

Above all, our success depends on the talented and dedicated people at Superior Plus.
