Excited to kick off Day 1 at the NPGA Expo! 🚀

At Bergquist, we’re thrilled to be back on the show floor, doors officially open and energy already buzzing. This is exactly why we love this event — the chance to reconnect with our customers and industry peers, exchange fresh knowledge, share innovative ideas, and stay ahead of the latest trends shaping the future of propane.

A standout topic already generating great conversations? Renewable propane!

As Don Montroy, our Vice President of Corporate Strategy, shared:
“Renewable propane is the single biggest technological advancement to drive our industry going forward. It gives us a tremendous opportunity to lower our carbon footprint more than traditional propane does.”

If you’re at the Expo, please stop by our booth. We’d love to catch up, hear what’s top of mind for you, and talk about how we can partner to make the most of these exciting developments.

Let’s make this a productive and inspiring show together!
