DCC acquires Ireland’s Jones Oil

Jones Oil supplies commercial fuels in Ireland with 15 depots and 45 tanker trucks.

Leading Irish fuel distributor DCC has agreed to buy Jones Oil for an undisclosed amount.

DCC’s Energy division, which trades in Ireland under the Emo brand, notified the transaction to the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) last Friday.

Jones Oil supplies home heating oil and commercial fuels to a variety of sectors and has 15 depots in the east, midlands and north-west of Ireland. It has 150 staff and a fleet of 45 tanker trucks.

Jones Oil had €138 million in turnover in 2019, the most recent year for which accounts are available.
