MANHEIM — Diesel Direct, the nation’s largest onsite mobile fueling company, announced Wednesday that it has acquired the assets of troubled Lancaster County energy company Worley & Obetz.
“Thousands of former Worley & Obetz customers finally have some good news, and some clarity about their accounts for commercial and home fueling services,” Diesel Direct said in a press release.
Diesel Direct will make the former Worley & Obetz Manheim location as its new headquarters for Pennsylvania and operate all services from the facility, the announcement said.
In addition, Rhoads Energy has agreed to immediately purchase divisions that service home retail customers, including HVAC and propane divisions, from Diesel Direct. It will operate those services from the former home of Worley & Obetz as well.
“All former Worley & Obetz employees are strongly encouraged to contact Diesel Direct and Rhoads Energy about employment opportunities,” the Diesel Direct announcement said. “Both Diesel Direct and Rhoads Energy are focused on generating more jobs locally for technicians, drivers and other personnel.
“Our team is excited to expand our existing footprint in the Pennsylvania area with this acquisition,” Diesel Direct CEO William McNamara added. “We look forward to growing our presence in the market and providing an enhanced customer experience with our industry-leading technology and solutions.”
Rhoads Energy’s purchase includes equipment, trucks and other assets, like propane tanks installed in the homes of thousands of area customers.
“We sought this purchase because in enables Worley & Obetz customers to continue to get local propane and HVAC service from a hometown provider,” said Rhoads Energy CEO Michael DeBerdine III. “This move also enables us to grow our team and add jobs.”
