Where we began and where we are now

In 2010, two companies – Infratil Limited and the Guardians of New Zealand Superannuation – got together and bought the Aotearoa New Zealand fuel business from a global company.

That put us in a good position to create something special. So we asked people what they wanted out of a new Aotearoa New Zealand energy company.

They liked the idea of a homegrown brand, run by Kiwis, with a good dollop of attitude.

In 2011, Z Energy was born, and since then has emerged as a business success story. Z became the wholesale fuel supplier to the network of Caltex-branded service stations in 2016.

In 2021, Z entered a scheme of arrangement with the Australian petroleum company Ampol Limited (Ampol). As of 10 May 2022, Z is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Ampol Group.

Z is proud to be a company that contributes to the New Zealand economy and community.
