Calumet’s TruFuel Brand Posts Over 10% Surge in Monthly Sales Volume
Calumet’s TruFuel brand achieved its highest monthly sales volume ever, exceeding the previous record by over 10% after a record 2025 performance. The ethanol-free, ready-to-use fuel saw heightened demand across winter storm response, power outages and routine outdoor equipment maintenance.
1. Record Monthly Sales Achievement
TruFuel reported its highest single-month sales volume, surpassing the prior record by over 10% following a year of record sales in 2025. This milestone underscores accelerating adoption across residential and professional outdoor power equipment markets.
2. Key Growth Drivers
Growth was driven by increased demand during winter storms, power outages and routine property maintenance, as customers seek ethanol-free, ready-to-use fuel solutions requiring no mixing. The precise blend for 4-cycle and 2-cycle engines and extended shelf life have strengthened consumer confidence in the TruFuel brand.
3. Implications for Operations and Margins
Continued volume expansion may leverage Calumet’s North American manufacturing network of twelve facilities to optimize costs and improve specialty products segment margins. Management’s focus on supply chain scalability will be critical to sustaining growth without diluting profitability.
