The story

Behran Oil Company was founded in 1963 as a private joint venture with Exxon Mobil Company in Iran. The first products of the company were just packing and blending engine oils.

The company became independent after the Islamic Revolution. Gradually it was expanded and now the production rate reaches 250,000 tons of base oil for each year, as well as 350,000 tons per year of finished products. In total, the capacity of the company for the production of finished products is more than 500,000 tons per year.

Behran Oil Company increased its commitment in the field of lubricant production technology through investment in research and development. The development of Behran activities resulted in the establishment of a new plant for the production of special lubricants and antifreezes.
