Its fleet of tank wagons, tractor-trailer transports, box trucks, and flatbed vehicles delivers diesel fuel and gasoline to customers' locations on a scheduled or as needed basis, refueling vehicles and equipment, resupplying fixed-site and temporary bulk storage tanks, and emergency power generation systems. The company also engages in the packaging, distribution, and sale of petroleum products, lubricants, and chemicals to refineries, manufacturers, and other industrial customers. Its fleet of special duty tractor trailer units provides heavy haul transportation logistics services over short and long distances to customers requiring the movement of over sized and/or over weight equipment, and heavy manufactured products. In addition, it provides emergency response services, including fuel testing, treatment, filtration, and top-off services. As of June 30, 2007, the company owned and operated approximately 200 specialized commercial vehicles, and 800 fuel and lubricant storage tanks. The company was founded in 1996. It was formerly known as Streicher Mobile Fueling, Inc. and changed its name to SMF Energy Corporation in February 2007. The company is headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. What We Do SMF Energy Corporation, a Deleware corporation, formerly Streicher Mobile Fueling, Inc. formed in 1996, and its subsidiaries (“SMF”) provide petroleum product distribution services, transportation logistics and emergency response services to the trucking, construction, utility, energy, chemical, and government services industries. Specialized Transportation SMF provides specialized transportation and logistics services utilizing its fleet of re-configurable tractor-trailer units to provide the delivery of specialized commodities, including the heavy haul of over-size and/or over-weight machinery and equipment throughout the U.S. and Canada. Our heavy haul customers range from construction companies, for whom we handle the movement of “yellow iron”, such as cranes, bulldozers, and road grading equipment, as well as prefabricated concrete and metal building materials, to petroleum refiners and chemical plant operators, for whom we transport large vessels, processing equipment and other equipment used in the construction or “turnaround” maintenance of their facilities. We also design customized fuel delivery solutions using our commercial mobile fueling capabilities, and third-party nationwide fuel and card lock networks for companies requiring heavy haul over-the-road capabilities, such as utility companies constructing power transmission systems. The broad range of services we offer our customers includes commercial mobile and bulk fueling; the packaging, distribution and sale of lubricants; integrated out-sourced fuel management; transportation logistics and emergency response services. Our fleet of custom specialized tank wagons, tractor-trailer transports, box trucks and customized flatbed vehicles delivers diesel fuel and gasoline to customers’ locations on a regularly scheduled or as needed basis, refueling vehicles and equipment, re-supplying fixed-site and temporary bulk storage tanks and emergency power generation systems. We also distribute a wide variety of specialized petroleum products, lubricants and chemicals to refineries, manufacturers and other industrial customers. In addition, our fleet of special duty tractor-trailer units provides heavy and ultra-heavy haul transportation services over short and long distances to customers requiring the movement of over-sized or over-weight equipment and manufactured products. Our sophisticated fueling solutions include the use of patented proprietary electronic fuel tracking control system to measure, record and track fuel dispensed to each vehicle and tank fueled at a customer location. This system allows customer verification of the amount and type of fuel delivered and provides customers with customized fleet fuel data which can be used for various types of management analysis as well as tax reporting. The commercial mobile fueling services we provide offer numerous advantages to customers, including lower labor and administrative costs associated with fueling vehicles; centralized control over fuel inventories and usage; tax reporting benefits; elimination of costs and risks of environmental liabilities associated with on-site fuel storage and dispensing facilities; reduced exposure to employee theft of fuel; and elimination of security breakdowns associated with off-site fueling by employees. We also provide emergency service and fuel delivery services in response to natural disasters and other widespread emergency conditions, including hurricanes, tropical storms, ice and snow storms, forest fires and earthquakes. Emergency Response Services Our emergency response generator services program provides customers with ongoing fuel testing, treatment, filtration and top-off services to ensure that generators and other emergency power supply systems are fully fueled and that the fuel is in optimal condition for use at the onset of power outages. We then provide emergency fuel supplies to these customers for their generators and emergency power supply systems in a series of scheduled deliveries for the duration of power outages based on the consumption and utilization requirements of these systems. We presently operate 192 specialized commercial vehicles from 28 operating locations serving major metropolitan markets in Alabama, California, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas. The Company will continue to pursue measured and profitable growth in these markets by selling existing services to new customers, and cross selling new services to existing customers or new services to new customers. In addition, we will continue to pursue expansion through strategic acquisitions of similar or complementary businesses that meet SMF’s criteria for growth and profitability. We also own over 800 fuel and lubricant storage tanks with over 1,700,000 gallons of capacity. These tanks include bulk storage tanks located at our facilities and portable tanks used for the temporary storage and dispensing of fuels and lubricants at customers’ job sites. Our portable tanks are delivered to a customer by SMF’s fleet of specialized flatbed trucks. In addition, we provide bulk fueling and lubricant services to customers who own their own storage facilities. SMF transports and delivers fuel and other petroleum products to these customers on a scheduled, or as needed, basis utilizing its fleet of customized tank wagons and transports. 200 West Cypress Creek Road Suite 400 Fort Lauderdale, FL 33309 United States - Map Phone: 954-308-4200 Fax: 954-308-4205 Web Site: http://www.mobilefueling.com DETAILS Index Membership: N/A Sector: Services Industry: Basic Materials Wholesale Full Time Employees: 269 Management Team Richard E.
