Chevron Reintroduces Caltex Brand to Namibia Chevron Namibia Petroleum Exploration and Production B.V. (Chevron Namibia) has announced the reintroduction of the iconic Caltex brand to Namibia. The Caltex brand, synonymous with quality fuels and lubricants, was previously present in the country for several decades. The return of Caltex to Namibia is part of Chevron’s strategic plan to strengthen its presence in the African market. The company recently acquired Engen Petroleum Limited, a leading fuel and convenience retailer in Southern and East Africa, including Namibia. “We are excited to bring the Caltex brand back to Namibia,” said Chevron Namibia Managing Director, Frank Leibfarth. “Caltex has a long history and strong reputation in this market, and we believe that its reintroduction will be well-received by our customers.” As part of the rebranding process, Chevron will be investing in the upgrade of its existing service stations to reflect the modern Caltex look. The company will also introduce a range of new products and services to meet the evolving needs of its customers. “Our goal is to provide our customers with a superior fueling experience,” said Leibfarth. “We are committed to offering high-quality fuels, lubricants, and convenience offerings that meet the highest standards of performance and safety.” The reintroduction of Caltex to Namibia is expected to create new employment opportunities and contribute to the growth of the local economy. Chevron Namibia is committed to working closely with the Namibian government and local communities to ensure that the project benefits all stakeholders. “We believe that the return of Caltex to Namibia will be a positive development for the country,” said Leibfarth. “It will provide consumers with greater choice and quality, create jobs, and contribute to the overall economic development of Namibia.” Chevron Namibia has been operating in Namibia since 1991 and is currently the largest oil and gas producer in the country. The company’s investments in Namibia have played a significant role in the development of the country’s energy sector.Caltex Returns to Namibia through Partnership with Bachmus Oil and Fuel SuppliesCaltex Returns to Namibia through Partnership with Bachmus Oil and Fuel Supplies Caltex, the once-familiar fuel brand in Namibia, is making a comeback after Chevron Brands International, a subsidiary of Chevron Corporation, inked a long-term licensing agreement with Bachmus Oil and Fuel Supplies, a Namibian company. Under the agreement, Bachmus becomes Chevron’s exclusive licensee for the Caltex brand, responsible for selling, marketing, and distributing Caltex-branded fuels throughout Namibia. The move aims to expand the Caltex network of service stations across the country. Caltex holds a strong reputation as a premium brand in Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. Bachmus Oil and Fuel Supplies, established in 1994, specializes in providing lubricants, oils, and hydraulic systems for various industries. Its expertise also extends to fuel and oil supply, storage, and distribution. The partnership strengthens Chevron’s presence in Namibia, where it re-entered the upstream oil and gas business in 2022 as the operator of PEL 90, an offshore block in the Orange Basin. In April 2024, Chevron acquired an 80% operating interest in PEL 82 in the Walvis Basin. “Re-entering the Namibian retail market is a significant milestone for Chevron,” said Danielle Lincoln, Vice President of Chevron International Products. “We plan to reinforce the Caltex brand with a network of fuel retail sites, offering reliable energy to Namibian motorists.” Corne Schalkwyk, Managing Director of Bachmus Oil and Fuel Supplies, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership. “We are thrilled to collaborate with Chevron in bringing Caltex back to Namibia,” he said. “Bachmus’s experience and infrastructure will support the growth of Caltex service stations. We look forward to delivering energy solutions to the Namibian market.” Chevron, one of the world’s leading integrated energy companies, produces crude oil and natural gas, manufactures transportation fuels, lubricants, and petrochemicals, and develops energy-related technologies.Chevron, one of the world’s largest energy companies, has announced the return of its Caltex brand to Namibia. The move is part of the company’s strategy to expand its presence in Africa and strengthen its brand recognition in key markets. Caltex operated in Namibia from 1969 until 2011, when it was sold to Engen Petroleum. Chevron has since acquired the rights to the Caltex brand in several African countries, and Namibia is the latest market where the brand will be reintroduced. The introduction of Caltex in Namibia will provide consumers with a range of high-quality fuels and lubricants, including Caltex with Techron, which is designed to clean and protect engines. The company also plans to open a network of Caltex service stations across the country. “We are excited to bring the Caltex brand back to Namibia,” said Chevron’s Africa Region President, Steve Wilson. “We believe that the strong reputation of the Caltex brand, combined with Chevron’s global expertise and commitment to delivering high-quality products and services, will be a winning combination for our customers in Namibia.” The return of Caltex to Namibia is expected to create jobs and boost the local economy. The company plans to hire locally and invest in training and development programs for its employees. Chevron’s reintroduction of the Caltex brand in Namibia is part of the company’s broader growth strategy in Africa. Chevron has been active in Africa for more than 100 years and has a significant presence in several countries, including Angola, Nigeria, and South Africa. The company is committed to investing in Africa and supporting the continent’s economic development.
