  • Our history

    AS Propaan has been working in the market of liquefied gas in Estonia for more than 40 years. It began its' activity as a part of «Tallinngas». At that time liquefied gas was delivered to Estonia only in cylinders. During the period of 1957-1963 a temporary liquefied gas filling plant was established, including two 50 m3 tanks and an equipment for filling cylinders.

    In 1964 this temporary liquefied gas filling plant was closed down and the new one was built, which included a platform for three tank wagons, compressor section, repairing, requalification, and filling cylinders sections, two filling stations for tank semitrailers, and five 50m3 ground tanks. In 1970 this reservoir park was completed by five more ground tanks.

    In 1985 the plant was reconstructed. Ten more 100m3 tanks were added to the reservoir park, a new compressor section as well as a new railway platform with two-sided pouring mechanism for eight wagon was built. Tank semitrailers were being filled on a new four-place filling station. Thus the production infrastructure for the additional supplement of municipal and production services by liquefied gas was established.

    In 1991 the company came out of "Tallinngas" and began its' activity under the name of state joint-stock company Propaan, remaining as a part of the already existing structure Eesti Gaas.

    In 1994 Eesti Gaas sold the shares of the state-owned company Propaan to a joint-stock company BKM Kamma, which was dealing with an import of liquefied gas to Estonia at that time.

    In 2002 AS Propaan became private.
