A Bright Future
Two Powerful Brands Coming Together
Aramco's acquisition of Valvoline Global reached completion in March 2023 to further accelerate our vision to become a market-leading automotive and industrial solutions provider.
Valvoline Global is Aramco's downstream consumer-facing lubricant business.
Now powered by Aramco, we continue to invest strategically and expand globally, driving unparalleled product innovation and sustainable business solutions.
This powerful partnership provides an unmatched foundation for our historic brand’s next chapter of development. Headquarters are in Lexington, Kentucky, USA.
Aramco's Origin Story
Aramco traces its beginnings to 1933 when a Concession Agreement was signed between Saudi Arabia and the Standard Oil Company of California (SOCAL, also known as today's Chevron). A subsidiary company, the California Arabian Standard Oil Company (CASOC), was created to manage the agreement.
This company would go on to add more American partners as they explored the Arabian desert looking for oil. In 1938, the foundation of the future prosperity of Saudi Arabia and the success of Aramco were realized with the commencement of commercial oil production from Dammam No. 7 — the aptly named “Prosperity Well.”
Aramco's Growth and Expansion
Now named Aramco (the Arabian American Oil Company), the business continued to grow and hit record-breaking oil production milestones. Throughout the 1990s, Aramco gradually extended their partnerships across the world, becoming a truly global company.
Today, Aramco is one of the world's largest integrated energy and chemicals companies, creating value across the hydrocarbon chain and delivering societal and economic benefits to people and communities who rely on the vital energy they supply.
