BP - The Comeback of a Giant?

First published in the Spanish version of Petróleo y Energía Magazine?

First established in 1908, in Iran as Anglo-Persian Oil Company, BP has an estimated value of one hundred thousand million dollars ("mdd"), employing 85 thousand people, with an annual turnover of 220 thousand million dollars. The Giant has sought for more than fifty years to establish itself in Mexico, penetrating beyond the mere sale of lubricants and petrochemicals. You see: giants have forgotten art of patience.

Comeback or Reappearance?

Although BP has never really been gone... It has been in Mexico since the 1960s. At that time, the oil company began, shyly, with the marketing and distribution of Castrol (motor) lubricants. "Expropriation" winds were still blowing and that's why in those days, being already a giant, it decided to be a giant in discreet disguise.
