PETRON Malaysia is celebrating its 10th anniversary.
Petron MRR2 Selayang in Selangor was the first service station to open under Petron Malaysia in 2014.
Its dealer Mohd Azhar Ismail still remembers greeting customers on that day.
Since then, about 200 more service stations have been added to Petron Malaysia’s retail network – with each one staying true to the company’s promise to “Fuel Happy”.
Petron Malaysia chairman Ramon S. Ang said, “We mark a significant milestone as we celebrate our 10th year.
“As we trace our humble beginnings, we can proudly say that Petron Malaysia is now one of the country’s leading oil companies.
“Since day one, we have remained committed to taking chances, aspiring to excellence and moving past the recent challenges that we have conquered together.
“We owe this to our customers, employees, partners and stakeholders who have been part of this remarkable journey.”
Ten years on, Petron has made it part of its mission to integrate sustainability practices into its operations – closing gaps to embrace economic, environment, social and governance agendas, and to deliver more value to its stakeholders and build a better future.
As part of its economic sustainability, Petron Malaysia completed two major investments at Port Dickson Refinery in 2021.
The diesel hydrotreater unit produces diesel with lower sulphur content meeting Euro 5 specifications, while the Marine Import Facility 2 caters to bigger vessels thus reducing frequency of imports.
Both projects contribute to reducing Petron’s carbon footprint in line with the company’s philosophy to “Protect our environment today for a better tomorrow”.
Petron also has a palm methyl ester plant with a biodiesel production facility to ensure the uninterrupted supply of cleaner diesel for the nation.
The Lumut PME plant recently emerged as the runner-up in the Renewable Energy – Biofuel Award.
Petron Malaysia general manager Faridah Ali said, “We have achieved many great things over the past 10 years and we are proud that these accomplishments have made a lasting and positive difference in our stakeholders’ lives.
“We continue to create valuable employment and economic opportunities, spurring growth and progress wherever we are.
“Our commitment to fuelling happiness and empowering our communities can only grow stronger from here.”
