Paraco
Connecticut , refurbishes propane cylinders that can be put back into circulation and prevented from entering landfills . We ’ ve automated this process to ensure maximum efficiency , this year adding a robot to our workforce named PAT , the Paraco Automated Teammate . Named after my grandfather and founder , PAT lifts and moves pallets of propane cylinders from conveyor belts to other areas or machines , eliminating the more labor-intensive tasks from the refurbishment process .”
Growth trajectory
Looking forward , Christina considers Paraco ’ s future as one that will continue to put customers and employees first while staying ahead of the changing landscape . “ If you look at our history , it ’ s clear to see that we ’ re a company of constant evolution ; we originally started out in industrial gas , before transitioning to propane ,” she reflects . “ We ’ re now becoming more of a residential services model , where in addition to providing power , we also service offerings to both residential and commercial customers .
“ When it comes to the wider industry , I think the future will see propane increasingly used as a bridge component for alternative energy solutions and for backup generation . New technologies will inevitably arise , particularly in the energy sector , and propane will continue to play a key role going forward . “ At Paraco specifically , customers and employees are our top priority , but we ’ ll also remain at the forefront of technology and sustainability to bring new concepts and advancements to our portfolio ,” Christina concludes . “ Overall , the future will see us continue our current trajectory to grow and expand within our existing geographies as well as in new territories that we don ’ t currently service .” ■
