Sprague Energy
About
Sprague is an energy supplier and material handling company serving about 25,000 customers across the Northeast. It sells fuels and natural gas programs to businesses and public agencies, backed by a network of terminals and pipelines that helps keep supply steady both in normal times and during disruptions. Government customers range from major transit authorities to hundreds of public schools, with services such as retail fueling, bulk fuel deliveries and overnight replenishment.
The company dates to 1870, when Charles Hill Sprague founded the Charles H. Sprague Company in Boston to supply coal to New England. It later ran a steamship line, managed the US government’s wartime coal shipment program in 1942 and moved into oil after World War II. After a period under Shell, it was acquired in 1972 by Axel Johnson Inc., and in 1986 it launched a full-time materials handling business.
