History
Originally part of the government-owned Oman Refinery Company,
the Al-Maha Petroleum Products Marketing Company became a company
in its own right on 22 June 1993, by virtue of a Royal Decree. The
company was established to provide retail outlets for fuel together
with additional services, such as convenience stores, auto
services, smart cards and aircraft refueling.
In 1999, ABS Lubricants Company (UAE) bought a 35% share
in the company, with the remaining 65% retained by the government
of the Sultanate of Oman.
On 7 February 2004, the company converted from a limited
liability company to a general Omani joint stock company known as
Al-Maha Petroleum Products Marketing Company S.A.O.G.
