Gulf Distribution
The distribution rights to the Gulf range of products in Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands are held by ANZPAC Oils Ltd which is a wholly owned subsidiary of CRT Co-operative.
CRT is a company owned by 26,000 farmer shareholders in New Zealand with a large charge card business, a significant retail network and a fuel distribution business which is the largest independently owned operation in Australasia. Last year, CRT turned over nearly $1.3 billion New Zealand dollars.
In June 2011, the Gulf brand was launched in Auckland, New Zealand for the first time in history. This was followed by a roadshow throughout the South Island of New Zealand to introduce the product range to CRT’s retail customers and staff.
In the North Island a series of racing events were used to profile the brand –even attracting the attention of other world famous icons such as Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason.
With New Zealand distribution and sales tracking well, it is now time to share the Gulf brand with some other areas ANZPAC has the distribution rights to.
Gulf is an opportunity just waiting for Australia to grab.
