APPLETON, Wis. -- U.S. Venture has promoted Bill Renz to general manager for its newly created U.S. Gain division which manages the GAIN Clean Fuel compressed natural gas (CNG) brand.
Prior to becoming its own division, GAIN Clean Fuel was managed by U.S. Oil, another corporate division of U.S. Venture.
In his new role, Renz will continue to focus on U.S. Gain's expansion efforts across North America. He will provide strategic oversight to U.S. Gain's plans to build and operate more than 100 GAIN stations within the next two years and is responsible for overseeing U.S. Gain's sales, operations and engineering functions.
Renz has worked for U.S. Venture since 2012 and led their efforts to establish the GAIN Clean Fuel brand. He was general manager of the brand while it was under U.S. Oil.
There are 39 GAIN Clean Fuel stations operating or under construction throughout the United States.
Renz previously worked for Jacobus Energy and the Kohler Co.
