Central Refiners, which opened in 1936, was located at the southeast corner of 18th Street and Richmond Avenue. Initially owned and operated locally, the refinery was born from one of the old skimming plants that predated refining in Western Canada. That early plant skimmed the gasoline products from Turner Valley crude oil, using the collection material basically as tractor fuels to supply the farmers of the area.
The operation took a big step forward when it was allied with Anglo Canadian, a Calgary-based oil drilling exploration company, and turned into a proper refinery to refine the crude oil. That crude oil was hauled to Brandon by tank cars from the Anglo Canadian Turner Valley wells until about 1950 when the first trans-Canada popline was completed and a loop extended to the Brandon refinery.
In the early 1940s, shortly after it had been completed as a catalytic refinery, the plant went in to war production, producing the aviation gasolines used by the Commonwealth Air Trining Program in western Manitoba.
As Central REfiners and as Anglo Canadian Oils, the company was essentially a local one with businessmen and farmers of Brandon and western Manitoba owning big portions of the shares. In 1951, the British American Oil company purchased sharsin Anglo Canadian Oils and in 1964 BA became the principal owner.
Due to techonological and economic factors British American Oil Company decided to close the Brandon refinery, effective April 1, 1969.
