The oil refinery at Bangchak was completed in 1964. In that same year, the Thai government announced a tax on oil production within the country, so there was only one way to maintain profitability: Expand refining capacity to 20,000 barrels per day. Because the company did not attract enough investment for such expansion, the government offered a 15-year lease on the oil refinery, with the proviso that production capacity must be expanded. Finally, Summit Industrial Corporation (Panama) bid for this lease and successfully expanded production capacity over the next 4 years. A rise in worldwide crude oil prices then led to a global economic crisis. When the Thai government considered adjusting retail oil prices, there were persistent objections from labor unions and student unions, including a demand for the government to nationalize the oil refinery. When the government did so, the oil refinery was found to have deteriorated substantially, requiring large amounts of fuel and accumulating losses of about 4 billion baht.

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.
