About Us

When the Company was established in 1996, private oil companies were a new concept. It was very much the “wild frontier” and the possibilities seemed endless. To our founders, this represented freedom – a chance to break away from the restrictions imposed on the market by a select few oil companies.

All these years later we are amongst the leaders. We believe our enthusiasm is one of the things that sets us apart from other oil companies.
We pride ourselves in our understanding of our given markets. We provide one of the most comprehensive product offerings available in New Zealand.

In January 2019, we moved into our purpose built Head Office and Production facility in Takanini Auckland. This comprises 3,000 m2 of warehousing and production space. This investment is indicative of the way we reinvest capital back into our service offering on a consistent basis.
We have coverage in all parts of NZ. We ensure you are never far away from a quality Vertex product.  We have branches in Auckland, Tauranga, Palmerston North, Nelson and Christchurch.

With continued, development and investment in our business and our people, we have developed into a truly professional oil company. We take the time to get to know our customers. We are focused on providing quality solutions.

We operate slightly different to most, by running our own fleet of trucks to deliver products by building a comprehensive branch network with our own stock and people, by having our own production, packaging facility, and developing a product range specific to New Zealand’s industry and conditions.
