BTI was founded in 1946 by Ben Taylor, a military veteran, who bought Carter Oil Company. He then expanded his services to gas stations, farm chemicals, fuel and propane delivery. His son, Greg, joined the business, and together they provided outstanding customer service to the communities of Shelby, Cut Bank and Valier. Most importantly to Ben & Greg were their dedicated employees, many of whom worked at BTI for decades.
BTI is now a division of CityServiceValcon, a fuel distributing company located in Kalispell, Montana. CityServiceValcon was founded in 1932 and has a similar vision to BTI of growing and expanding their business through honesty and integrity, providing a great environment for employees, and giving back to their communities.
BTI is proud to serve our local communities and has supported community events and endeavors, especially those involving local youth. Over the years, countless donations have been given to the 4-H programs, schools, and special causes in Toole, Pondera, Glacier and Liberty Counties.
We have employees who volunteer regularly and the work we do in the community is perhaps our greatest asset.
We appreciate our friends, family and neighbors who have adapted to the changes that have come with the new owners and stuck with us as we still navigate the ongoing changes.

In every community, many aspects go into the economic drivers. While there are various contributors to each community base. Having fuel and propane delivered is a big part keeping many businesses and people going throughout the year. BTI helps serve those needs, along with helping support other various economic trades within the community as well through the farm store. Not only does BTI fill a need here in Shelby with fuel, propane, farm and ranch supplies, and much more! The staff are always very friendly & helpful when I stop into either the farm store or the offices!
BTI Montana is a great supporter of the community. They support the community many times each year with various sponsorships, donations, or their employees participating and/or helping with community events whether its Chamber related, or other organizations! It's great to see that they invest back into the community helping make Shelby the great small town it is! Keep up the good work everyone at BTI Montana!
For those able to attend, BTI is hosting an event this week. FREE customer appreciation BBQ. Stop down and check it out this Wednesday Sept 25 from Noon to 2 pm.
I look forward to the continued working relationship between everyone at BTI and the Chamber into the future!
