BWOC and Mabanaft are rebranding as MB Energy, as part of a wider group rebranding programme.

MB Energy said the rebrand is intended to create a unified market presence, while maintaining existing operations, workforce and customer relationships.

Under the changes, BWOC Ltd will formally change its name to MB Energy, while Mabanaft will retain its legal name but also operate under the MB Energy brand.

The move forms part of a broader strategy by MB Energy to bring more than 50 brands from the former Mabanaft Group under a single identity.

Weston-super-Mare-based BWOC, founded in 1982, supplies bulk fuel nationwide to sectors including haulage, agriculture, SMEs and the public sector.

Its services include heating oil, diesel, AdBlue, tank telemetry, renewable diesel (HVO) and carbon compensation.

London-based Mabanaft was established in 1964, with origins dating back to 1947 in Hamburg. It supplies and trades diesel, gasoil and gasoline, serving commercial and industrial customers across the UK.

Amy Jones, BWOC MD, said: “BWOC Ltd has built a strong reputation over many years as a trusted nationwide bulk fuel supplier in the UK - valued for its reliability, personal service and deep understanding of customers’ operational needs.

“We are proud to be aligning more closely in our external identity, while continuing to deliver the dependable, customer-focused service we are known for.”

Caroline Watkins, MB Energy regional head UK, added: “Mabanaft Ltd has long been a trusted partner to customers across the UK, delivering tailored fuel solutions supported by deep market expertise. As part of MB Energy, this strength becomes even more visible, reinforced by a broader network and shared expertise across the group.”

André Cardoso, SVP sales and marketing at MB Energy, commented: “With MB Energy we have established a clear and unified presence in the market – one face to the customers, while keeping our strong regional presence.

“This enables us to provide a wide variety of products and solutions from a single source. We offer reliable, worry-free energy today and expand our product portfolio with future-oriented energy solutions to meet our customers’ needs of tomorrow.”
