Neill Gas Inc. is pleased to announce the acquisition of Acme Propane Gas company of Highland Home and Montgomery, Alabama on September 29, 2025.

Acme Propane Gas company has been an established leader in their community providing propane to both residential and commercial customers for over fifty years. It was founded in 1971 as Highland Home Propane by Billy and Elizabeth Sexton, and each of their children joined the family business, Kim, Ken and Keenar. In 1999, Highland Home Propane joined other propane companies to become Acme Propane Gas. In 2005, the Sexton family regained ownership and has operated the company since then. Acme sincerely appreciates their customers and would like to thank them for the many years of dedication and ongoing support. Neill Gas, Inc. is proud to continue this tradition of being a family business with top notch customer service.

Neill Gas Inc., owned by the Waring family, is based in Vicksburg, Mississippi. The company has served customers in Mississippi, Louisiana, and now proudly in Alabama for over 65 years. It began as Neill Butane, Inc. in 1960 and changed its name to Neill Gas, Inc. in 1989.  It has continually grown through acquisitions over the years and now has locations in Vicksburg, Biloxi, Morton, Flowood, Starkville, Kosciusko, West Point and Louisville, Mississippi and now will be in Highland Home and Montgomery, Alabama and soon to be in Irvington, Alabama. Neill Gas, Inc. prides itself on being the best in the business, providing prompt and courteous service. Our team of professionals are certified and trained to install propane gas systems in new and existing homes and businesses.

The same friendly people the Highland Home and Montgomery communities have known in the past at Acme Propane Gas will continue to service your propane needs and remain in the local office areas with the same phone numbers. Neill Gas, Inc. plans to make this transition as smooth as possible. The only change customers will see is a new name and different logo.
