NRMCA Producer Member Ozinga Saves with Alternative Fuel

E-NEWS continues to follow NRMCA Producer member Ozinga Bros.'s efforts to reduce its fuel bill with natural gas. The Illinois-based company, which has a large presence in Northwest Indiana, has opened its latest compressed natural gas station in Gary, a first for the region. Ozinga already has opened 24-hour stations near busy roads in its home base of Mokena, Chicago and Des Plaines. The company manages 30 percent of the natural gas fueling stations in Illinois, and is reducing its own fuel costs by 70 percent by converting its own from diesel to cheaper and cleaner-burning natural gas, said chief operating officer Ed Van Pouke.
