About Dor Alon
Historical Background
Two new fuel companies were established following reform of the fuel sector in the 1980s – Alon Israel Oil Company Ltd. and Dor Energy (1988) Ltd.
Alon Israel Oil Company was founded in 1989 by the Kibbutz Movement to exploit economy of scale and volume of fuel consumed by the Kibbutz Movement.
Up to 1991, company fuel sales remained mostly within the Kibbutz Movement and the cooperative settlement sector, without attaining significant volume.
In 1991, 50% of Alon shares were acquired by the Beilsol Group that specialized in construction and operation of fuel stations and commercial centers, following which David Wiessman became company president in 1995. 
Alon was the first to establish a chain of convenience stores integrated with the fuel stations, as part of a concept of providing commercial services centered on the fuel stations.
Africa Israel acquired 26% of Alon shares in 1994 thus joining the group of Alon shareholders.
In 1999 Alon signed an agreement with energy giant Texaco for exclusive marketing of Texaco lubricants in Alon fuel stations and Super Alonit stores.
Alon acquired 65% of Dor energy in September 1999, while Dor Energy concurrently acquired 100% of Dor Gas. In 2001 Alon completed acquisition of 100% of Dor Energy.
Dor Energy (1988) Ltd. was established in 1988, commencing operations in 1989 and opening its first fuel station in 1991. In 1992 Dor opened its first Diesel Refueling Center, pioneering this sector in Israel.
At the end of 2004 the company name was changed to Dor Alon Energy in Israel (1988) Ltd. and Alon energy operations in Israel were transferred to Dor Alon so that as of January 2005 all energy operations of the Alon Group in Israel were concentrated under the Dor Alon brand.
