CCRL - Consumers' Co-operative Refineries Limited
Brief description:
Consumers' Co-operative Refineries Limited (CCRL), the world's first co-operatively owned refinery, was incorporated on April 1, 1934, with the mission of supplying local co-operative associations with quality petroleum products. On May 27, 1935, production of 500 barrels of crude oil per day began. Since those early days, CCRL has experienced immense growth in its facilities, as well as in the distribution and sales of its petroleum products through the Co-operative Retailing System (CRS). CCRL celebrated its 70th year of operations in 2005. Current crude processing rates are typically 100,000 barrels per day.
