Founded in 1939, our roots were planted in the Northeast Kansas town of Atchison when A.C. Ferrell and his wife Mabel opened the family-owned business A.C. Ferrell Butane Gas Company. Twenty-six years later, A.C.’s son James E. Ferrell, current Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and President, started turning the small-town shop into one of the nation’s leading propane suppliers. Through almost a century of innovation, Mr. Ferrell has instilled the same original values and work ethic leading not just employees but over 4,000 employee-owners to support the high-powered, technology-focused logistics company Ferrellgas is known to be today.
