Company History
PelletSales.com was founded by Jon Strimling to make finding and purchasing wood pellets easy. Strimling, who was previously director of development at New England Wood Pellet, succeeded in streamlining the manufacturing of wood pellets, but realized that many consumers were not being effectively served by existing distribution channels.
His concept – making pellets available on-line and delivering directly to consumers – has now caught on. After a small start with shipment from one facility in Massachusetts, the company has rapidly grown into the nation’s leading independent distributor of pellet fuels.
Our goal is to streamline both the flow of materials and the flow of information in the industry. Transportation can be up to 50 percent of the cost of pellets, so we focus on always finding the shortest possible path between a manufacturer and consumer, saving you money. Right now, in most markets, this means providing bagged pellet fuels, but we soon expect to be able to offer bulk delivery of pellet fuels more broadly.
Our network helps us make pellet fuel easy:
- Dozens of wood pellet manufacturers are standing by to help us meet demand.
- Our affiliations with more than 100 stove manufacturers and their affiliated stove shops help us keep in touch with product requirements and industry trends.
- Our carrier and distribution center network is unrivaled in the industry, providing us nationwide coverage.
