Cosmo Oil Company, Limited (コスモ石油株式会社, Kosumo Sekiyu Kabushiki-gaisha^?) is a Japanese petrochemical company.

History

Cosmo traces its corporate roots to Maruzen Petroleum (丸善石油株式会社), a company established in 1931, although the oil business operated by Maruzen was originally established by Zenzo Matsumura in Kobe in 1907.

Cosmo Oil Company was formed on April 1, 1986 through the merger of Maruzen Petroleum and Daikyo Petroleum (a group of oil businesses based in Niigata Prefecture which merged together in 1939).

Refineries

Cosmo operates four refineries, all of which are located in Japan:

• Ichihara, Chiba (former Maruzen refinery): 240,000 barrels/day
• Yokkaichi, Mie (former Daikyo refinery): 155,000 barrels/day
• Sakaide, Kagawa (former Asia Oil refinery): 120,000 barrels/day
• Sakai, Osaka (former Maruzen refinery): 80,000 barrels/day
