Irish Companies

Irish Companies Irish Companies is a fourth generation, family-owned, certified women’s enterprise that began serving our Upstate New York neighbors in 1932, when Ralph Irish founded the R.N. Irish Coal Company.

Following World War II, the shift from coal to natural gas for home heat pushed Bob Irish—Ralph’s youngest son—to look for new ways to grow his business. Bob began to explore opportunities in industrial gases and welding supplies, then added propane to the mix by helping local companies convert their forklifts to the then little-known alternative fuel.  

Irish Propane continues to serve our neighbors in the Rochester, Buffalo, and Finger Lakes areas, providing expert propane delivery the Irish Company way, with a focus on:

there-whenever-you-need-us service fair and honest pricing problem-solving innovation best-in-class propane safety standards
