History
editThe company was incorporated as Lanka Lubricants on 1 December 1992 as a subsidiary of Ceylon Petroleum Corporation. In July 1994, Ceylon Petroleum Corporation, the Government of Sri Lanka and Caltex Petroleum Corporation signed a memorandum of understanding to transfer a controlling stake to Caltex.[6] In 1996, the company was listed on the Colombo Stock Exchange. In 2007, the company was renamed Chevron Lubricants Lanka Ltd from Caltex Lubricants Lanka. The renaming was done in connection with the global branding and to clarify the organisation's identity.[7]
