In 1994, it started Fuel Direct service in Auckland. In 1996, it changed its name to Waitomo Petroleum Limited. In 2002, the Ormsby family bought shares back from Mobil, making it Kiwi-owned. In 2012, the first Fuel Stop opened in Te Uku. In 2015, the brand 'Waitomo - Kiwis fueling Kiwis' was adopted. In 2019, the company expanded to the South Island. In 2022, it celebrated 75 years.
