BELLE VERNON, PENNSYLVANIA— Guttman Energy, one of the region’s largest private companies with approximately $4 billion in total revenue, Guttman Renewables and Source One Transportation, have now become employee-owned companies, united in a newly formed Company – Guttman Holdings. The companies within this new Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) will continue to market under their current names, in the same markets, and are expected to continue their significant growth and success.

“My brothers and I are extremely excited about this opportunity. Having been very successful in managing our customer’s fuel and transportation needs through the most tumultuous time in our history, we remain very bullish about this business and our future. We have an outstanding executive leadership team in place. Joe Lucot, CFO and Mark Harper, COO have been leading the Company for the last few years and have set Guttman up for continued growth. The ESOP is an opportunity to share our success with the leadership team and all the employees. We are thrilled to turn over the Company and entrust our legacy to our outstanding management team and team members to take Guttman into the future,” said Alan Guttman, CEO and Chairman of the Board.
