Towards the end of 1930, coal has conquered the market in France, but propane-butane already makes its way in a progressive way, situating itself as an alternative energy source which does not cause pollution. During this initial stages of business development, the main gas distributors deliver heaters together with the first ordered gas bottle.
The "Vitogaz" company decides to undertake an innovative commercial policy: sales of 13-kilogram cylinders with propane-butane, without obligations for the clients to buy home heating equipment.
The idea is revolutionary and results follow soon. The enterprise develops in the sphere of direct sales (Paris region) and through brokerage of distributors (North and East France) at the same time.

In 1966, Vitogaz introduces the distribution of propane-butane in bulk tanks:
- 102 tons of gas are sold during the same year;
- 2 years later, there are already 310 bulk tanks installed.
At the end of 2006, Vitogaz owns a park of 40 000 bulk tanks and more than one million of single containers.
