Who owns Astron Energy?

Glencore owns 68% of Astron Energy South Africa and 100% of Astron Energy Botswana. The remaining 23% of Astron Energy South Africa is held by Off The Shelf Investments (OTS) and Astron Energy employees (9%)


What happens to Freshstop and Ucount?

FreshStop remains our convenience store brand and will be available at both New Brand and Caltex branded service stations. Our current loyalty partnership remains with Standard Bank and the UCount Rewards Programme and will also be available at all participating Caltex branded service stations and participating new brand sites. However, launching our new brand and redefining our retail strategy is also an opportunity to review and renew our existing partnerships to refresh our offerings and align to our new brand. It is still early in the process and we will outline any new plans in due course.
