The Maxol Group is an Irish oil company which serves all of Ireland, It was founded in 1920 and is part of McMullan Bros. Limited.[1]
Republic of Ireland[edit]In 1919, William and James McMullan signed a supply agreement with the Anglo Mexican Oil Company (AMOC) and in 1920 founded McMullan Bros. Limited. In 1924, AMOC was acquired by Shell; however, McMullan Bros. retained the rights to use the Mex brand name in Ireland.[4]
In 1972, the existing brand names of Mex, Silensol and Daisy, began to be replaced by the Maxol brand, though all operating companies only completed this process in 1981. In 1986, Maxol acquired Ola, operator of an oil terminal at Drogheda, County Louth. In 1996, Maxol acquired 80 retail sites from Statoil and Jet which were to be disposed of as a condition of their merger.[5] In 1997, the group signed a partnership with Mace, a convenience store group, to allow development of joint Maxol/Mace filling stations.
