Acterra Group traces its roots back to 1958, when the company began as a gas station equipment and service enterprise— Petroleum Equipment Services (PES). Over more than six decades, that single-location business grew into a multi-faceted fuel-systems organization, providing equipment, consulting, and specialized services to the fuel, chemical, renewable energy, healthcare, manufacturing, and fleet industries, as well as government applications.
That growth took the company well beyond its original footprint — from offices across the Midwest and Colorado to today’s operations spanning Iowa, Alabama, Texas, Wyoming, Georgia, and Colorado, with headquarters in Marion, Iowa and a federal services office in Rogersville, Alabama. The company’s project history even extends overseas, with work completed for clients in Korea, Jamaica, Egypt, and the Middle East.
Through all of that growth, Acterra has remained a full-service fuel-systems integrator, installer, and service provider — handling repair and maintenance for fueling systems, lubrication equipment, and storage tank systems, and installing equipment for fuel management, tank monitoring, leak detection, and lubrication. The company is also a distributor for many OEMs across the petroleum equipment market — the foundation of today’s Line Card.
Since our establishment, Acterra has grown from its roots as a regional petroleum equipment company into a national fuel-systems partner. What hasn’t changed is how we operate. View our core values below:
Every job, every site, no exceptions. Safety planning happens before a crew ever picks up a tool, not after something goes wrong.
Workmanship that passes inspection the first time. We'd rather take the extra hour on site than the callback six months later.
We show up, and we finish. Customers plan around Acterra's timelines because we build timelines we can actually hold.
We solve problems instead of just flagging them. When something on site doesn't match the plan, our teams work the problem instead of waiting on a change order.
Field, office, and vendor network working as one, so a customer never has to manage the handoffs themselves.
Some of Acterra’s largest commercial clients include Crown Enterprises, Johnson Construction, Loaf N Jug, Moltus Building Group, McGough Construction, Larson Construction, Ryan Companies, and Roncelli, Inc.
Acterra’s staff bring a combined 250-plus years of experience to client projects. Technicians are factory trained on the latest industry equipment and certified on major fuel management systems — including FuelMaster, Gasboy, PIUSI, OPW, and GIR — as well as tank gauge and monitoring systems from Veeder-Root, Morrison, OPW, and Franklin Fueling.
Acterra Group is a member of the Petroleum Equipment Institute (PEI), the trade association representing the petroleum equipment and fuel-dispensing industry, and the Steel Tank Institute (STI), the leading standards-development organization for steel storage tanks. These memberships keep our teams current on the latest industry codes, safety standards, and best practices, and reflect our ongoing commitment to quality and compliance on every project.
