THE fuel supply business looks much different today than it did in 1921, when Raymond Demere founded the company that became the Colonial Group while endeavoring to energize the new internal combustion engines helping motorized vehicles quickly surpass horse-drawn wagons as the primary means of transport. Modern power units are more efficient, the bulk tanks are bigger and bolder, and 21st-century logistics technology truly is transformative. But the overriding objectives that fueled Demere's post-World War I dream remain undiminished under the Savannah, Ga.-based company's fourth generation of family leadership: To deliver the best possible products and services, at the lowest plausible prices, and send everyone home the same way they arrived. |
