Caltex
Caltex was established in 1936 as a joint venture between Standard Oil
Company of California (later Chevron) and The Texas Company (later
Texaco). Initially named California Texas Oil Company, it was
formed to market oil from concessions in Saudi Arabia. The
company later became known as Caltex Petroleum Corporation in
1968. Caltex remains a major international brand under
Chevron’s ownership.
