GAINESVILLE, Ga. -- Mansfield Oil Co. has appointment of Bob Gray as director of biofuels and business development to support the growing commercial and government demand for alternative fuels. He will be responsible for finalizing BQ9000 certification and expanding Mansfield's biofuel business, which already supplies biodiesel products in 32 states.

Previously, Gray held the vice president of business development position with World Energy Alternatives. And he recently was a featured instructor at OPIS Ethanol & Biodiesel Risk Management University.

"Bob's expertise [image-nocss] and long service to the biodiesel industry as an early educator and advisor are invaluable to us," said Douglas Haugh, executive vice president and CIO of Mansfield Oil. "We are currently in the final stage of achieving BQ9000 marketer status. This is an important certification in our industry because it confirms our commitment to the highest quality standards, and Bob's experience rounds out the world-class team we need to deliver on this commitment."

In his new position, Gray will oversee expansion of Mansfield Oil's alternative fuel programs. "Mansfield has seen a 446% growth in 2008 in its biofuel sales and is up 64% so far in 2009," said Gray. "There is no reason why it cannot continue this growth to become the clear market leader. Mansfield's commitment to quality products and programs along with its comprehensive knowledge of the petroleum and biodiesel industries are unsurpassed. I look forward to bringing my experience to directing their business development team and motivating the organization towards even greater success."
