Dead River Company has acquired a longtime Bangor-area heating fuel supplier, continuing its pattern of buying smaller, family-owned heating operations in New England. Dead River acquired Maine Energy Company in September for an undisclosed amount, according to Lisa Morrissette, a Dead River spokesperson. Maine Energy has been a fixture in the Bangor area for 90 years, delivering heating oil and propane and providing other heating and cooling services, while Dead River is a century-old heating fuel company with deep Maine roots.
