ABOUT THE COMPANY

Astron Energy is a leading supplier of petroleum products in Southern Africa, with a vast network of over 800 service stations which makes us the second largest fuel retail network in South Africa.  A proud Level 1 B-BBEE contributor, we are strongly committed to being a responsible corporate citizen, promoting education and economic development in an effort to build stronger communities and drive sustainable growth. 

We own and operate a crude oil refinery, located in Cape Town, as well as a lubricant manufacturing plant in Durban.  

In 2018, we were renamed to Astron Energy following a change in ownership, since which time we have been operating the Caltex brand under a licence agreement. As part of our bright new future, we are now rebranding our entire network of service stations in South African in our vibrant new corporate identity. This rebrand marks a key milestone in Astron Energy’s ambition of becoming South Africa’s next biggest fuel brand.
