Palmetto Gas Corporation opened in 1962 as Sumter's newest energy company. The brainchild of entrepreneur Scott Rumph, Jr., the company had its roots in converting oil-fueled tobacco barns to cleaner, cheaper propane burners. The company began operation on Lafayette Drive where it continues to operate the bulk plant. Much has changed since the '60s, and Palmetto Gas has grown to meet our customers' evolving needs through the years.
