Mobil®
Mobil Oil Australia has played a key role in the development of the Victorian economy for nearly 100 years.
When it opened its first business in Melbourne in 1895 it was an importer of a limited range of products.
That modest beginning laid the foundations for a major integrated oil and petroleum product company that is now one of Australia's largest.
Mobil petrol, lubricants and related products are made in local plants and sold throughout Australia and the Pacific Islands.
In addition to its role in the development of the Victorian economy Mobil has also contributed significantly to the nurturing of the arts in this State.
Its local sponsorships range from the establishment of the Performing Arts Museum, through to funding of the Melbourne International Festival, the Australian Print Workshop and curatorial and Koori art courses at Melbourne University.
The company is also highly active in a range of education, sport and community service projects.
After nearly 100 years as a “citizen” of Victoria, Mobil takes pride in the fact that it has been able to take an active role in the economic and cultural development of this State.
In this regard it welcomes the opportunity to support this special edition of the La Trobe Library journal and highlight the importance of the Library's collections and function.
