The Gulf Oil International Group has experienced a number of significant changes, ever since Chevron beat T. Boone Pickens in a massive takeover in the late 1960s. More recently the Gulf Oil International Group, a Hinduja Group entity, has been steadily rebuilding the Gulf brand having, acquired the rights worldwide except for USA where the brand belongs to Chevron and Spain and Portugal where it belongs to Total. The power of the Gulf Brand has been a key driving force and the group has flourished into the success it enjoys today. |
| In the past two decades there has been a gradual expansion of Gulf's operations. More recently the growth rate has accelerated. The Gulf Oil International Group has invested in joint ventures and wholly-owned lubricant marketing operations, mostly in the fast-growing Asian markets. |
| Alongside this a growing number of independently-owned oil marketing companies, notably in Europe and Latin America, have licensed the Gulf brand to spearhead their operations. These companies have been steadily growing their business in local markets in both fuel retail (gasoline and diesel fuel) and lubricant sales. In many countries there has been a return to the roadsides of the famous Gulf brand at fuel stations leading to a regeneration of public awareness of the brand presence for Gulf in those markets. Once again customers are able to choose the historic Gulf brand at the pump. |
