Our team has more than 70 years of experience in the industry, ensuring our customers get the services they need.
Our locally owned and operated company provides safe and reliable bulk liquid transportation service to businesses ranging from convenience store operators and grocers to refineries and pipeline terminals, road contractors, and local workers throughout the Hutchinson, Kansas area. You can rely on us to transport butane, propane, natural gasoline, and other LPG products, such as liquid asphalt, gasoline, diesel fuel, and ethanol.
Our company was initially founded in 1951 by Gene Vannaman. Since then, the Munds and Vannaman families have served customers throughout the area. Gene joined Groendyke Transport as a fleet operator while, at the same time, operating as an independent oil jobber seeking to transport motor fuel. In 1966, Gene’s son-in-law, John Munds, joined the business following a career as a high school math teacher and basketball coach. They partnered, forming V & M Transport, while continuing as a fleet operator.
In the fall of 1981, John became the sole shareholder, immediately setting priorities and standards of safety. V & M ran without an avoidable mishap for the first five years under Munds’ direction. From that leadership came a tradition of serving customers well while operating in a manner of protecting life, property, and the environment. That tradition has proudly endured over the past 40 years.
Launched in December 2021 by brothers Mark and Greg Munds, V & M Transport became Munds Energy with a focus on continuing to serve customers with the same pride, professionalism, and tradition that the company has focused on for more than 70 years. In addition, we have the ability to adapt to the ever-changing challenges of the industry by learning from our more than 30 years of experience managing the family business.
