Who we are

About us

WesCEF’s portfolio of businesses provides the fertilisers that enrich crops and nourish local and international communities, the natural gas that warms our homes, and products that underpin critical existing and emerging industries.

Wesfarmers Chemicals, Energy and Fertilisers (WesCEF) is a division of Wesfarmers, comprising nine industrial businesses that operate in domestic, national and international markets.

WesCEF businesses include CSBP Chemicals and Fertilisers, which has a 110-year operating history in WA; natural gas provider Kleenheat, and Victoria-based PVC resin supplier, Australian Vinyls and ModWood, a composite timber decking business. WesCEF also has a 50 percent stake in both Queensland Nitrates and the Covalent lithium mine and refinery.

We employ around 1,400 people across our businesses – located in Western Australia and Victoria. This number excludes our joint venture businesses – QNP and Covalent – which operate independently.

Most of WesCEF’s facilities are in Western Australia, with offices in Murdoch and major production facilities in Kwinana. We produce and distribute essential products for the agricultural, mining, construction and manufacturing industries and energy for households for cooking, heating and hot water.  

WesCEF is part of Wesfarmers Limited, a diversified conglomerate listed on the ASX and one of the nation’s largest employers with more than 120,000 employees.
