Separately, Overland Park, Kansas-based CarterEnergy recently moved its transportation team to a new product distribution center (PDC) in Kansas City, Mo., from its Riverside, Mo., location, where it was housed for the past 20 years.
The company held an open house with and ribbon-cutting ceremony in mid-December. CarterEnergy associates, drivers and their families joined the celebration, which included tours of the new facility. In attendance were CarterEnergy friends and business partners, as well as Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce members. CarterEnergy president/CEO Bryan Beaver was joined by Reed Murphy, president of MHC, and Thomas Charles, producer of Lockton Insurance, for the official cutting.
"We're excited with all the possibilities this move brings for our Kansas City fleet, and most importantly, that it brings us closer to our primary maintenance source so we can further exemplify CarterEnergy's safety statement, which states: 'There is nothing we do commercially at CarterEnergy Corporation that is worthy of compromising the well being of a human life or the environment,'" said Tim Clarke, VP Transportation and Commercial Fuels.
CarterEnergy serves as a leader in the marketing and distribution of transportation fuels, distributing 141 different energy products within the Midwest and Gulf regions. It also provides fleet and commercial fueling services in and around the Kansas City metropolitan area, and operates a fleet of transports in four major metropolitan markets.
