Energy Distribution Partners Acquires Lyons LP Gas Company, Inc., in Ohio and Michigan

Chicago, Illinois-based Energy Distribution Partners (EDP) has completed the acquisition of Lyons LP Gas Company, Inc., a family-owned business that has been providing propane service for more than 50 years to nearly 4,500 customers in northwestern Ohio and south central Michigan.

Energy Distribution Partners CEO Tom Knauff stated, “We are extremely pleased to have Lyons LP Gas join the EDP family of companies. Ludlow ‘Lud’ Seaman believes, as we do, in the importance of caring for customers, treating co-workers with respect and operating safely in the communities we serve. We are thrilled that Lud has chosen to entrust his family business to EDP.”

“I wanted to make certain that both our employees and our customers would be well taken care of,” said Lud Seaman, president of Lyons LP Gas. “I am confident that EDP will not only take good care of them, but will continue our company’s commitment to providing safe, reliable propane service, which was also a high priority for me.”

Headquartered in Lyons, Ohio, Lyons LP Gas also has an office in Addison, Michigan. The company was founded by Lud Seaman’s father in 1966. In addition to providing propane for home heating to residential customers, the company also serves agricultural and commercial customers in the area.

The acquisition of Lyons Propane marks the seventh acquisition for Energy Distribution Partners in the past four years. EDP continues to focus its growth strategy in the residential, commercial and midstream sectors and provides propane services in California, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
