History
Button Energy was founded in 1933. In 2019, under the leadership of fourth-generation owner, Ed Button, the decision was made to create Button Holdings to serve as the parent company of a diversified portfolio of family businesses. The new entity and restructuring of shared services responsibilities creates efficiency and a foundation more appropriate for scaling growth. The current portfolio of companies is an indication of our efforts to diversify our offerings and cash flows. We currently engage in the marketing of energy products, transportation services, convenience retail products including food service, construction products and services, and real estate.
