Dowler-Karn Limited, has been acquired by McDougall Energy Incorporated.
The acquisition which was announced on October 29th closed on February 28th.
The deal combines over 150 years of industry experience and both have built reputations as reliable and customer-focused service providers in the communities they operate in, which includes St Marys.
Dowler-Karn services over 18,000 residential, agricultural, commercial and industrial customers from eight fuel, propane and lubricant plants and nine 24 hour fuel access centres across Southwestern Ontario.
Dowler-Karn will still operate under its family name and management as a division of McDougall Energy.
President of Dowler-Karn, David Karn says the choice to sell was a very difficult decision, but choosing to sell it to McDougall Energy was not, adding the similar values make it a perfect fit and adds strength to the teams for continued success.
No service interruptions are expected during the transition.
Dowler-Karn staff members, including members of the Karn family will stay with the business.
