The Past in Perspective

Our past plays an integral part in how we approach the future, and the common thread that weaves through McDougall Energy’s storied history is family.

The McDougall name is the face of our business. We are dedicated to maintaining the same excellence in service and customer satisfaction that three generations of family have built since 1949.

We look forward to a future full of new possibilities where our values continue to reflect our history.

The timeline below illustrates the journey that marks where we are today. Building trusted relationships have been the foundation of our success from the very beginning. Each acquisition, maneuver, or strategy was a decision made with integrity and our Core Values in mind.
