Forum Awards Partner
Aramco Trading Company was established in October 2010 under the
approval of Saudi Aramco’s Board of Directors. The wholly owned
subsidiary started operations in January 2012, focusing on the
trade of refined products, blending components, bulk
petrochemicals, and polyolefins, and later added LNG and crude oil
to its portfolio. To ensure the success of its operations, Aramco
Trading focuses on two corporate objectives: managing the Kingdom’s
growing demand for refined products and handling the additional
production streams from Saudi Aramco’s current and future
downstream investments. In 2014, the company’s trading portfolio
expanded to include liquid chemicals and polymers. In 2015 and
2016, third-party trading was introduced to enhance trading
activities and capture additional value. In 2017, Aramco Trading
expanded its role from balancing Saudi Aramco’s local system to the
supply and trading integrator of Saudi Aramco global Downstream
assets. Aramco Trading also inaugurated its first international
office in Singapore, creating a global presence, and expanding
third-party business in the Asian market. In 2018, ATC focused on
developing its role as the supply and trading integrator and
started developing new regional offices to support its role. Since
its launch, Aramco Trading has emerged as the Middle East’s premier
oil-based energy trading company, as well as the largest shipper of
refined petroleum products in the region. Today, we are recognized
as a key trading partner by refiners, shipping companies, financial
institutes, end users, and other products-trading companies and
houses. Aramco Trading has flourished into a global player based on
an effective and efficacious strategy.
