PENRITE Oil, an Australian owned and made oil company, has signed a two-year deal with Melbourne Football Club to become the newest Major Partner.

The family-owned company, which is celebrating its centenary this year, will support the club’s AFL program, featuring prominently on the top front and back of the iconic red and blue guernsey.

Fittingly, Melbourne won a Premiership in 1926 the same year Penrite Oil was founded, with the club celebrating its own centenary since the club’s iconic win over Collingwood.

Melbourne Football Club CEO, Paul Guerra, was excited about the opportunities this new partnership could bring.

“Penrite is an iconic, Melbourne-born brand, and so it is a natural partnership between our two organisations,” Guerra said.

“With their logo, displayed proudly on the top front and back of our AFL guernseys, we are excited to bring this partnership to life for our members and supporters.”

Penrite Oil Chief Executive Officer, Toby Dymond, expressed his excitement for the shared heritage of Penrite Oil and Melbourne Football Club.

“We are looking forward to watching this partnership grow stronger, driven by our common values of performance, dedication, and teamwork both on and off the track,” Dymond said.

“As Penrite approaches its 100-year milestone this year, we’re celebrating a century of innovation and determination – qualities that align perfectly with Melbourne Football Club’s spirit and drive for success.”

Founded in 1926 in St Kilda, just a stone’s throw from Melbourne Football Club’s traditional home at the MCG, Penrite Oil is an Australian owned and made manufacturer of premium lubricants & filtration engineered for Australian conditions. The brand is a major supporter of Australian racing and grassroots motorsport.
