From humble family beginnings to a forecourt national leader
The PSA Group was established in 1985 by Peter Rowe and his wife, Gill, as Highbury Engineering in Adelaide, South Australia.
With a commitment to quality service and innovation, the business built up a trusted reputation over the years and evolved into Petrol Services Australia, now known as The PSA Group - the national leader in forecourt solutions.
Today, The PSA Group is still Australian owned and operated under the leadership of the Rowe family, with Peter’s sons, Jack and Sam, providing the strategic direction. Guided by a dedication to reliability and excellence, The PSA Group proudly serves clients with the same family values and commitment that launched the company decades ago. Now, this once small, Adelaide based business has grown into a nationwide provider with a service network that stretches across most of the country.
