Turkiye Petrol Rafinerileri A.S.
Operating four oil refineries, with a total of 28.1 million tons annual crude oil processing capacity, Tüpraş is Turkey’s largest industrial enterprise. In addition, a 50,000 ton capacity petrochemical production facility, a majority stake ( 79,98 %) in shipping company DİTAŞ and 40% share ownership of petrol retailer Opet, creates synergies and adds value to the operations. The roots of Tüpraş, an integrated petroleum company with a large market share, corporate reliability, production complexes and affiliates, dates back to İPRAŞ (İstanbul Petrol Rafinerisi A.Ş.) founded by the U.S. Caltex Company. In 1983, İPRAŞ and three other publicly owned refineries were brought under the Tüpraş umbrella by arrangements made for a more effective operation of State Economic Enterprises.
The first step for operational diversification of Tüpraş was the purchase in 2001 of the Petkim Yarımca facilities, putting in place the ready-to-operate infrastructure for enlargement projects that were needed by the refining operations.
