U.S. Venture, Inc., an Appleton, Wis.-based distributor and marketer of energy, automotive and lubricant products, established a separate corporate division for its compressed natural gas (CNG) business. The new division, called U.S. Gain, will encompass all operations related to its expanding CNG network for commercial fleet operators and shippers in North America. The network is marketed under the GAIN Clean Fuel brand, which consists of 39 sites operational or underway with a target of 100 locations in the next two years.
GAIN Clean Fuel was originally managed within the U.S. Oil division, whose principal focus is petroleum and biofuel distribution, trading and terminal operations. U.S. Venture’s other two divisions include U.S. AutoForce and U.S. Lubricants.
