Ferrellgas Partners, L.P. specializes in the distribution and retail of propane, alongside associated equipment and supplies. The company facilitates propane delivery through various channels, including its own distribution locations, directly to customer tanks, or as portable tanks supplied to retailers. A notable aspect of its operations is the portable tank exchange service, conducted under the widely recognized Blue Rhino brand, which utilizes a network of both independently owned and collaboratively managed distribution outlets. The propane provided by Ferrellgas serves a diverse range of applications, primarily for heating (space and water), cooking (both indoors and for outdoor grilling), agricultural uses like crop drying, irrigation, and weed control, and powering other propane-fueled appliances. It also functions as an engine fuel for combustion vehicles and forklifts, and as a crucial heat or energy source in industrial manufacturing and drying processes. Ferrellgas caters to a broad customer base, including residential, industrial, commercial, agricultural, and wholesale clients, as well as participants in the portable tank exchange program, across the United States, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. As of July 31, 2021, the company's operational footprint comprised 50 service centers and 800 service units dedicated to propane distribution. Beyond its core propane activities, Ferrellgas also engages in the sale of refined fuels, offers common carrier services, and retails propane appliances, their parts and fittings, along with other related consumer products and services. Established in 1939, Ferrellgas Partners, L.P. is headquartered in Overland Park, Kansas.
