About us

motivated beyond tomorrow

We are building a business for today while looking ahead to what comes next. Through our people, our relationships and the opportunities we create, we are motivated to keep moving forward.

more than fuel

MBT Petroleum is a Schedule C oil and specialist group operating across the South African petroleum and lubrication sectors. For many years, South Africa's petroleum industry was largely shaped by the major refining wholesalers. Today, the industry includes a growing secondary tier of petroleum suppliers known as non refining wholesalers. MBT Petroleum operates within this part of the industry, supplying fuel and supporting customers across the country through our retail, wholesale and commercial businesses. Our position gives us the opportunity to build relationships directly with customers and respond to the needs of the markets we serve.

One business.Many ways to keep moving.

MBT Petroleum operates across several areas of the petroleum sector, connecting fuel with customers and businesses in different ways.

We believe in building relationships that are based on communication, trust and a genuine understanding of what our customers need. Behind every litre, every station and every customer relationship are people who make it happen.

Growing alongside the communities we serve.

As MBT grows, we want to create opportunities that extend beyond the forecourt. From employment and local partnerships to community initiatives and CSI activities, we believe businesses have a role to play in the places they call home.

We are committed to building relationships that last and contributing to communities in meaningful ways.
