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.

Reaching a new level Ultrapar is one of Brazil’s largest and most solid economic groups.

Ultrapar’s operations are founded on constantly improving its results and achieving excellence on its operations. National and international certifications in the environmental, health and quality areas, as well as intense programs for the development and training of its employees, attest to the company’s commitment to its stakeholders and to society as a whole. Management tools such as Economic Value Added (EVA®) and Balanced Scorecard (BSC®) are used on a day-to-day basis, accelerating the company’s consistent and sustainable growth.

The foundation of Unipetrol in 1994 represented the completion of one of the gradual conceptual steps in the privatisation of the Czech petrochemical industry. Unipetrol was meant to unite selected Czech petrochemical companies into a conglomerate that would be able to compete with strong international groups. Represented by the National Property Fund, the Czech state was the majority shareholder with 63 percent. The remaining shares were owned by investment funds and small shareholders. The original concept was that the state’s interest in the company should be privatised. Kaučuk, Chemopetrol, Benzina, Paramo, Koramo, Česká rafinérská, Unipetrol Trade, Spolana and Unipetrol Rafinérie were gradually integrated into Unipetrol.Effective from 1 January 1996, refineries of Chemopetrol in Litvínov and Kaučuk in Kralupy were separated to be united within Česká rafinérská.

The story behind Valero is one unequaled in corporate America. Named for the mission San Antonio de Valero – the original name of the Alamo – Valero Energy Corporation was created on January 1, 1980, as the corporate successor to LoVaca Gathering Company, a subsidiary of the Coastal States Gas Corporation. Valero is the direct result of a $1.6 billion settlement approved unanimously in 1978 by the Texas Railroad Commission, the state’s natural gas regulatory agency, which ended more than six years of litigation brought against Coastal by its municipal gas customers who claimed they had been overcharged for natural gas. Valero’s journey as a natural gas transportation company evolved in the mid-1980s when the company purchased a 50 percent interest in a Corpus Christi, Texas, refinery owned by Saber Energy. The operation began as nothing more than a vacuum unit and crude unit on a humble plot of land near the Corpus Christi Ship Channel. But in the years to follow, Valero amassed its “Refinery of the Future” and added 16 more refineries to the fold starting in 1997. Through these acquisitions, the company also branched into retail and wholesale markets and continues to operate under the Valero, Diamond Shamrock, Shamrock, Ultramar and Beacon brands.
