Bituminous coal producer Bowie Resource Partners LLC announced Oct. 15 that it changed its name to Wolverine Fuels LLC and relocated its corporate headquarters to Sandy, Utah, from Grand Junction, Colo.

The new entity will continue to operate the Sufco, Skyline 1, Skyline 3 and Dugout Canyon mines in Utah and its idled Bowie 2 mine in Colorado and will maintain a small regional office in Grand Junction.

"We are primarily a Utah company, employing Utah citizens and supplying coal to Utah power plants, so it only makes sense that we have our headquarters in Utah," Wolverine CEO James Grech said in a release.
