Alon
Alon started off as a young and dynamic fuel company, opening its first filling station in Israel in 1993. Today Alon is a multi-billion holding company operating in the energy and retail sectors under leading brand names in Israel and the U.S.
Alon in Hebrew means oak tree. It takes an oak tree a hundred years to grow. Alon did it in ten.
