History

Norbert E. Mitchell, Sr. was fresh out of the Army in 1945, when he returned home to Danbury and purchased his first oil truck. It was spruced up with a new coat of paint and a sign which read “Just Finished Serving My Country, Now Ready to Serve You.” With a dream and a great deal of determination, Mr. Mitchell embarked on a venture that would grow and prosper over the years. His accomplishments far exceeded even his own expectations.

In those early days, Mr. Mitchell operated his fuel oil business in Danbury. Eventually, he opened an office and bulk plant in New Milford also. In the sixties, property at 7 Federal Road was purchased and developed into the Company’s main plant. Over the years, adjoining lots were purchased to expand the facilities.  The Johnson Propane Company was merged into the operation in 1987. Mr Johnson and Mr. Mitchell had been friends for years. Now this alliance brought over 50 years of bottled gas experience into the company and greatly expanded our customer base.  The Redding Oil Company was acquired in 1989. This affiliation expanded operations appreciably in the Ridgefield/Redding area.
