The Gulf brand is one of the most instantly recognisable and powerful brands in the world.
From 2004, Gulf Oil is represented on the Romanian market by the Silca Oil Company, the exclusive Gulf licensee for Romania and Moldova.
Founded in 1901 in Texas (USA), the Gulf brand is present in more than 100 countries with operations in five continents. The main commercial centers are Argentina, Benelux, China, Dubai, India, Mexico, and the Philippines. The Gulf Oil International Groupâs core business is manufacturing and marketing a complete range of more than 400 performance lubricants and associated products for all market sectors.
The Gulf products meet the latest international requirements: API (the American Petroleum Institute), ACEA, SAE (The Society of Automotive Engineers), MIL and ILSAC (International Lubricant Standardization and Approval Committee), having also various manufacturers' approvals including VW, BMW, Porsche and Daimler Chrysler.
Throughout its 100 years of existence, Gulf has enjoyed pioneer status in the oil industry: in 1910 it carried out the worldâs first over-water drilling operations; in 1913 it opened the worldâs first drive gas station; in 1918 it created the worldâs first commercial catalytic cracking process. Also, Gulf has been the first to develop the synthetic oil molecule, detergent oil and the first to package lubricants in plastic packaging.
For Gulf Oil, the innovation in technology is the value added of its products.
Gulfâs identity, the orange and blue disc, is a symbol of quality, excellence and it is a guarantee of the professional service.
