History

In 1969, Ivan Hollows began as an Esso fuel distributor in the central Queensland town of Wandoan. That marked the start of a series of business activities that led to the establishment of the Pacific Petroleum Group in 1994.

After five years in the Wandoan business, Ivan took over a retail outlet in Ashgrove. He then expanded to New South Wales, acquiring the Esso distributorship in Lismore and later in Coffs Harbour and Grafton.

He also launched a bulk fuel distribution service at the rear of the Brisbane Transport Terminal.

When Mobil bought Esso’s retail network in 1990 it led to the formation of new company that was owned 50% by the Hollows family and 50% by Mobil Oil Australia. The company today is known as Pacific Petroleum.

During the 1990’s the company expanded through various business acquisitions across South-East Queensland, becoming one of Mobil’s largest distributors.

In 2005 after the global merger between Exxon and Mobil, the Hollows family purchased Mobil’s 50% interest in Pacific Petroleum to gain full ownership of the company.  

Pacific Petroleum has proudly continued its relationship with ExxonMobil.

In 2007, the company expanded its offering to clients by becoming an authorised importer and distributor of ConocoPhillips lubricants.
