Irving Oil has announced the company will not be put up for sale, a possibility it had raised in 2023.

“We are pleased to confirm Irving Oil will remain a privately held company, and we remain as committed to our people, our customers and our communities today as ever before,” a news release from the company late Tuesday afternoon said. 

Irving Oil initially announced a strategic review in June 2023 and said options such as the sale of the company or a new leadership structure would be considered. 

Tuesday’s announcement said the company has completed the strategic review process with the appointment of Jeff Matthews as president and CEO.

Matthews has worked for the company for 30 years as chief business development officer, chief financial officer and chair of the executive management committee, the release said.
