A Great Company
Engen is an Africa-based energy company with a focus on the downstream refined petroleum products market and related businesses. Engen’s vision is to be “A Progressive Energy and Solutions Partner Enriching Lives for a Sustainable Future.” The company’s core functions are the refining of crude oil, marketing of our primary refined petroleum products and the provision of convenience services via our extensive retail network.
Engen has a proud history dating back to 1881, when the Vacuum Oil Company set up office in Cape Town. This company eventually became part of the US-based Mobil Corporation. In 1989 Mobil disinvested, selling its SA interests to mining and industrial giant, Gencor. A year later the company was renamed Engen in order to reflect a new energy and spirit of entrepreneurship. In 1998, Engen became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Petroliam Nasional Berhad (PETRONAS), the Malaysian national oil company. In 1999 PETRONAS sold 20% of its shareholding to Worldwide African Investment Holdings (Pty) Ltd (now Phembani Group) in support of Engen’s Black Economic Empowerment goals. In 2017 Engen sold a further 6% equity to a Phembani-led consortium.
Engen is proud of the sound reputation it enjoys as a leading player in the South African and African energy industry. Our brand stands as a beacon of excellence, both for our many different clients and our diverse workforce. It’s no coincidence that Engen, as an ethical, energy company, is recognised as a driver of Africa’s economy, our clients’ businesses, and our employees’ career aspirations.
