The problem we're solving
In December 2021, Australia had five weeks of AdBlue left.
When China restricted urea exports without warning, every diesel truck and bus in Australia — nearly 400,000 vehicles — faced the prospect of shutting down. Freight. Food supply. Public transport. Hospital logistics. All of it runs on diesel engines that cannot operate without AdBlue.
The government scrambled. Emergency taskforces were formed. The ACCC intervened. A fertiliser company was rushed into round-the-clock production. And $49.5 million was invested in a national stockpile — because the crisis revealed something uncomfortable: Australia had no sovereign AdBlue manufacturing capability and no buffer against supply chain shock.
Capital Supplies was built in the context of that crisis. We supply AdBlue reliably today. We're building manufacturing capability for Australia's future.

Register InterestWhy Capital Supplies
Built differently. Built deliberately.
We're not a generic supplier with a Canberra postbox. We're an ACT business solving a problem that nearly stopped the country.
Based in Canberra. Built for government.
We're an ACT-registered, Canberra-based business. We understand how government procurement works, what fleet managers need, and how to make supply chain management simple rather than painful.
Product quality you can verify.
Every batch of AdBlue we supply comes with a Certificate of Conformity and Safety Data Sheet. ISO 22241-1:2019 compliance isn't a claim — it's a document we can hand you.
Proactive delivery. No emergency orders.
We monitor your stock levels and deliver before you need to ask. Your fleet keeps running. You don't spend time chasing suppliers.
Building toward sovereign manufacturing.
Within 36 months, Capital Supplies aims to be producing AUS32 in the ACT from Australian-sourced ingredients. The 2021 crisis showed what happens when Australia doesn't have this. We're building it.
