Enemed

Enemed is the company behind a large share of the fuel that moves around the Maltese islands. Its National Distribution Centre at Triq il-Mina tal-Ħażna in Għaxaq is the national hub for storing and distributing petroleum products, and it is the main address given for the business on its website. For a UK reader the closest comparison is a national fuel terminal and wholesaler, rather than a single pump on the road.

Għaxaq is a village in the south-east of Malta, not far from the Three Cities and the temple sites around Paola and Tarxien. In our directories Enemed appears among the petrol stations in Malta, because its brand fuels and station locator are what most drivers will meet. If you are visiting rather than doing business, our things to do in Malta guide is a better place to start.

Who Enemed is

Enemed Company Ltd was established on 1 September 2014 and is a wholly owned subsidiary of the state-owned Petromal Company Ltd. It is responsible for importing, distributing and wholesaling petroleum products to the inland market, including the aviation sector, and it lets third parties use its storage facilities.

The company holds ISO 9001:2015 for quality management, ISO 14001:2015 for environmental management and ISO 45001:2023 for occupational health and safety. Its vision is to be the preferred choice for customers, investors and its own team, and its mission is to store and supply cleaner, safer, higher-quality fuels for households, leisure users, businesses, industry and aviation.

The national distribution centre

The Għaxaq centre holds fuel storage facilities, a filling station, a laboratory and a distributed control system. The then President of Malta, George Vella, toured these parts of the site to see the daily work of Enemed's employees. Because third parties can rent storage, the centre also matters to businesses that need to hold fuel in Malta. It is a working industrial site, so contact the company before planning any visit.

Fuels for cars and aircraft

Enemed sells two grades of diesel to the European EN 590 standard. eDiesel contains renewable diesel, has a cetane number of 55 and is free from biodiesel. Cetane measures how readily diesel ignites, and a higher number generally gives easier cold starts and smoother running. ePower Diesel is the premium grade, with cetane above 60 and additives to keep injectors clean and help the diesel particulate filter work as intended. Both suit all diesel engines.

For petrol, eUnleaded meets EN 228 with an octane rating of at least 95 RON. ePower Petrol meets the same standard with a minimum of 98 RON, can be blended with eUnleaded, and suits high-performance, turbocharged and older engines. Check your owner's manual for the minimum octane your car needs, especially if you have hired one.

Aviation fuel comes as Jet A-1 for gas-turbine engines and Avgas 100LL for piston engines, stored and distributed to industry standards. Our guides to flights to Malta, London Heathrow to Malta and London Gatwick to Malta cover the passenger side of those same journeys.

Finding a station and getting in touch

The Enemed website includes a station locator, which searches by name, place or product and separates franchised from non-franchised stations across the islands. That is handy when touring by hire car.

If you are visiting the area, the Ħal Saflieni Hypogeum and Ħal Tarxien prehistoric complex are a few kilometres away, and the Ħaġar Qim Archaeological Site is a short drive beyond. Our Three Cities guide and Valletta guide cover the heritage towns nearby. Businesses weighing a move can read our Malta relocation guide.
