Most of my adult life has been consumed by a fascination with petroleum. It is clearly the most “political” of all commodities traded on the NY Mercantile Exchange. An event half way around the world can have an immediate and direct impact on the price we pay for motor fuels, heat oil, or for that matter, fertilizers, drugs, chemicals, textiles and thousands of other products that use petroleum as a major component.
We work hard to be your petroleum supplier of choice. With this in mind, we have provided our customers with an understanding of the global petroleum market and events that affect the current as well as forward pricing.
We then take it another step and offer an explanation of the components of the product and necessary additives to insure superior equipment performance and longevity.
Since there is a myriad of tax, regulatory and compliance issues relating to petroleum products, we have become a recognized resource to answer questions and intervene when necessary to solve problems or bring clarity to issues.
The philosophy of East Coast Petroleum is “…we are not just about petroleum”. We will keep you ahead of petroleum related issues along with projections for fuel budgeting to insure that your business remains competitive and in compliance.
Our motor fuel, process manufacturing users and commercial heat oil customers are the most well informed group of decision-makers in their industries. We will continue this high standard in all of our business relationships. We value your business and will help you to protect your asset.
Sincerely,
Donald J. Schmidt
President
