Our company's roots go back to 1900 as an oil importing company, and the Caltex name has been in Australia for almost seventy years.The all-Australian oil importer Ampol was listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) in the late 1940s. Both Caltex and Ampol opened refineries in the 1950s and 1960s, Caltex in Sydney and Ampol in Brisbane, and they competed fiercely in the service station arena and oil product marketing generally. As the industry started to rationalise, Ampol acquired Total and Caltex acquired Golden Fleece. Despite this, Caltex and Ampol were relatively small. Their 1995 merger propelled the company to be the largest refiner-marketer in Australia, with debt at the time of the merger of approximately $1.4 billion. Since then, the Caltex brand has mostly replaced the Ampol brand.Caltex is an Australian company - through its listing on the ASX; through its Sydney-based head office and management team; through its 4,000 employees working all around Australia and through its many Australian shareholders. Caltex Australia operates independently, with all decisions made by the management and the Board in Australia. This is what sets Caltex apart from other refiner-marketers in Australia.
