The United Story
Our directors began their journey in the petroleum industry in 1981, operating a group of service stations under the Astron banner.
Astron was closely associated with Esso (an Exxon Company) and by 1990 the company had constructed 23 new sites operating under the Esso brand throughout Victoria.
United Petroleum was established in 1993 with the opening of a chain of service stations/convenience stores in South Australia. We expanded operations into Victoria, and over the next two years built networks in New South Wales, ACT and Queensland.
We subsequently acquired and developed sites in Western Australia, Northern Territory and Tasmania and now have a national network of service stations and associated tenancies.
We vertically integrated in the mid 2000’s via the acquisition of fuel import terminals in Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, Northern Territory and Tasmania. Control of terminal facilities has allowed us to seek high quality petroleum products not only from refineries within our shores, but also via the importation of bulk tanker-loads.
This has allowed us to increase supply-chain security and provide pricing and negotiating benefits, giving us the ability to compete aggressively with major competitors.
Pie Face
The humble meat pie has been an Aussie favourite for many years which is why Pie Face is proud to be an iconic Australian pie brand.
Coming to life in 2003, Pie Face uses only premium ingredients and then combines these with traditional French style flaky puff pastry to create a delicious range of pies. Best of all, each pie is hand crafted and freshly baked in-store. Now in over 250 United stores around Australia, our award-winning pies are putting a smile on the faces of all pie lovers!
