Our History – Bergquist Inc.

About

Our History

Providing top quality propane equipment and training

In 2023, we celebrated our 60th year as a distributor of equipment to the propane industry. Our founder, Karl Bergquist, became a propane distributor in 1963, and our first warehouse was a single car garage in Toledo, Ohio. Needless to say, there have been many changes over the years. But our philosophy has stayed the same: we continue to supply both the equipment and technical assistance our customers require.

The resources our customers need to succeed

Today, we have two area distribution centers with a combined 60,000 square
feet, containing more than 12,000 propane, high-pressure gas valve, and
anhydrous ammonia related items. From these distribution centers we can
offer UPS One-Day Ground Service to all or part of 8 states as well as Two-Day
service to 33 others. We have customers in all 50 states, as well as Canada,
Mexico, South America, Europe, and Asia. We’re proud to have developed
close relationships with our customers, because we are dedicated to serving
their needs with top quality products and on time deliveries.

Our sales reps understand all sides of the industry

Our large inventories, two spacious distribution centers, five regional sales centers, and modern
ordering options all make our job a little easier, but our staff is truly our greatest asset. Bergquist
sales representatives are field trained as well as factory trained, and that’s important, because
they know your side of our industry firsthand. They’ve marketed propane, filled cylinders, installed
tanks, performed service work, and worked on bobtail reels in the freezing cold. Our equipment
and our broad-based product knowledge are key to assisting you with the equipment, training, and
trouble-shooting you require.

We've built a first class team

Yes, our sales staff is exceptional, but there is much more to the
Bergquist team. Our shipping department is the best around!
Managing the sheer volume of our inbound and outbound
deliveries is no simple task. And regardless of one’s title, all
members of the Bergquist team pitches in to ensure that each
inventoried order is shipped out the same day.

That dedication from everyone on our team lays the foundation
for our mission statement:

Bergquist is a wholesale distributor of equipment for propane
and other industrial gases. We are committed to providing
innovative products, outstanding customer service, and
technical support to deliver the best outcomes for our
customers, our industry, and our families.
