Dependable Delivery: A Family Tradition Since 1904

Founded in 1904, John Ray & Sons began as an ice delivery company. Over the past 118 years, the company increased its product offerings to include coal, wood, kerosene, and home heating oil to customers throughout New York's Greater Capital Region.

In 1975, Kenneth J. Ray joined the company and established a service division, expanded the company's product lines to include gasoline, diesel, and retail propane, and eventually assumed ownership.

When the retail heating oil, propane, and diesel divisions were divested, Ray retained ownership of the company’s midstream propane operation and premium gasoline division. The company provides wholesale propane supply and logistics to propane marketers across the Mid-Central and Eastern regions of the United States.

Ray Energy is proud of its history, its service to customers and communities, and its excellent service and safety record spanning over a century.
