Founded in 1971 by Garry Johnson and Ron Burgoine, initially distributed a small range of automotive accessories to service stations and automotive outlets around Melbourne. The name Burson was created as a combination of their respective names – Garry Johnson (the “Son” in Burson) and Ron Burgoine (the “Bur” in Burson.) The business quickly grew as it expanded its range of products and services. Today, we have over 2000 team members and over 210 stores across Australia, building a reputation with mechanics and do-it-yourself enthusiasts nationwide. In 2018, we began our international expansion, opening a store in Bangkok, Thailand. As we expand internationally, we are still an Australian-owned business, and we operate at Australian-level standards, ensuring that we never let our team and customers down.
