TonenGeneral Sekiyu K.K. has conducted business over many years as a leader in the petroleum and petrochemical industries in Japan. In our current operating environment, overall demand for oil in Japan is expected to decline due to changes in the energy demand structure associated with rising crude oil prices and evolution in the country's industrial composition. On the other hand, tightening of the supply/demand balance for petroleum products worldwide has led to increased export opportunities. In the petrochemical business, while global demand especially for basic petrochemical products continues to grow strongly and has supported our financial results in the last few years, we need to progress our strategy in a timely manner to cope with changes in the business environment. Under these conditions, the TonenGeneral Group is taking an integrated approach to all of its businesses, including refining and supply of petroleum products, marketing and chemicals. Specifically, we are pursuing the optimal combination of raw materials, product supply, and marketing channels to maximize added value. We also take full advantage of the ExxonMobil Group network to continue and further develop our business activities as a company with world-class cost competitiveness and technology, and the best refining, marketing and chemical operations in Japan. We intend to maintain growth and development in the future by achieving the highest global standards of operating efficiency and profitability.

Our company's roots go back to 1900 as an oil importing company, and the Caltex name has been in Australia for almost seventy years.The all-Australian oil importer Ampol was listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) in the late 1940s. Both Caltex and Ampol opened refineries in the 1950s and 1960s, Caltex in Sydney and Ampol in Brisbane, and they competed fiercely in the service station arena and oil product marketing generally. As the industry started to rationalise, Ampol acquired Total and Caltex acquired Golden Fleece. Despite this, Caltex and Ampol were relatively small. Their 1995 merger propelled the company to be the largest refiner-marketer in Australia, with debt at the time of the merger of approximately $1.4 billion. Since then, the Caltex brand has mostly replaced the Ampol brand.Caltex is an Australian company - through its listing on the ASX; through its Sydney-based head office and management team; through its 4,000 employees working all around Australia and through its many Australian shareholders. Caltex Australia operates independently, with all decisions made by the management and the Board in Australia. This is what sets Caltex apart from other refiner-marketers in Australia.
