Origins trace back to Standard Vacuum Oil Company, also known as Stanvac

Current Leadership:

Part of Petron Corporation, Philippines, under executive leadership of Petron Malaysia

The leadership continues to guide the company with a focus on operational efficiency, energy reliability, and market expansion.

Some companies deliver energy — PETRON sustains movement itself.

Its origins date back to early petroleum trading operations in Malaya under the Standard Oil network, supplying fuel to a region in the early stages of industrialisation.

At that time, energy was not yet a structured industry but a critical necessity supporting transport and trade.

Over the decades, the company evolved through various phases of ownership and industry transformation, aligning with Malaysia’s own economic development.

In 1960, it was formally incorporated, establishing a structured presence in refining and petroleum distribution.

The refinery in Port Dickson became a defining asset, converting crude oil into essential fuels that powered transportation, aviation, and industrial activities nationwide.

A major turning point came in 2012 when Petron Corporation acquired ExxonMobil’s downstream business in Malaysia, rebranding and integrating the operations into a broader regional energy network.

From legacy oil operations to modern downstream energy enterprise, its journey reflects a powerful truth — that energy companies do not simply evolve with time, they enable time to move forward.

Core Activities include:

• Refining of crude oil into petroleum products

• Marketing and distribution of fuels nationwide

• Operation of retail fuel stations and commercial fuel supply

• Production of LPG and lubricants for residential and industrial use

The company’s operational model focuses on downstream petroleum refining, fuel distribution, retail service station operations, commercial fuel supply, and energy product manufacturing. By combining refinery capacity with a nationwide retail and distribution network, PETRON MALAYSIA REFINING & MARKETING BHD. positions itself as an integrated downstream energy provider serving both consumer and industrial markets.

Notable Offerings Include:

• Retail fuels such as gasoline and diesel under the Petron Blaze series
