TruStar Energy announced July 14 that Scott Edelbach has been appointed General Manager in charge of the company’s construction and service operations.
“Without a doubt, Scott is one of the smartest and most experienced people in the CNG fueling station business,” said Adam Comora, president of TruStar Energy. “His drive, knowledge and leadership have profoundly contributed our company’s rapid growth, and as general manager, he will continue to play a key role in our long-term success.”
In 2009, Edelbach founded Vocational Energy, a company focused on developing CNG stations for vocational fleets. In 2012, Fortistar acquired Vocational Energy, re-named it TruStar Energy and expanded the company’s focus and new offerings, including long-term fuel provider agreements, station and vehicle financing and the development of TruStar Energy branded stations in high traffic corridors throughout the United States.
Prior to starting Vocational Energy, he worked at McNeilus Truck and Manufacturing Co. for close to two decades. Rising through the ranks, Scott finished his career at McNeilus as Vice President of the Refuse Division, generating $320 million in refuse truck sales.
“By aggressively expanding America’s network of CNG fueling stations, TruStar Energy is ushering in a new era of economic strength, lower carbon emissions and increased energy security, while keeping jobs and revenues here at home,” remarked Edelbach. “I would like to thank the TruStar Energy team and Fortistar for all of their support and our customers for being such great partners—this is an exciting place to work and industry to be in.”
