Hino Gas, the oldest and most prestigious Gas company in Harlingen TX is pleased to share its 58-year track record with customers, patrons and partners. Alejandro Hinojosa, Sr. started this business in 1963 with a propane bobtail truck. He began delivering propane gas to homes in rural Cameron and Willacy counties. Back then, it was a one-man show where Mr. Hinojosa was a mechanic, dispatcher, accountant, receptionist, technician, and driver who delivered gasoline to anyone in need. He was considered the most reliable, honest and hardworking man, supplying the gas no matter how bad the weather.

However, nothing could stop Hino Gas from growing as the company already had a loyal customer base in Cameron and Willacy counties.
The company experienced outstanding growth in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s with its first acquisition of Manske Propane of Brownsville, followed by Valley Fisheries Propane Company of Port Isabel in 1986. In 1995, Alejandro Jr., son of Alejandro Sr., joined Hino Gas. Today the company has 26 employees in Harlingen, Brownsville and Port Isabel. Hino Gas Company of Harlingen TX is proud of its employees, most of whom have been with the company for more than a decade. Serving over 9000 industrial, commercial and residential customers in Cameron, Willacy and Hidalgo counties in deep south Texas, Hino Gas stands for its values and…
