Company Introduction:

THE ARABIAN PETROLEUM SUPPLY CO S., widely known as APSCO, is a prominent Saudi Arabian company specializing in the distribution and marketing of a comprehensive range of petroleum products. Headquartered in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, APSCO has established itself as a key player in the Kingdom's energy sector, providing essential fuel and lubricant solutions to diverse industries and consumers.

Nature of Business (Factory or Trader):

APSCO is primarily a **distributor and marketer** of petroleum products, not a factory. While they operate extensive storage and distribution infrastructure, including fuel farms and depots, and engage in some blending of lubricants, their core business involves procuring refined petroleum products from major producers (such as ExxonMobil, with whom they have a long-standing partnership), and then storing, transporting, and selling these products to various end-users. They do not engage in the manufacturing of crude oil or its primary refining processes. Their business model focuses on efficient supply chain management, logistics, and value-added distribution services across the aviation, marine, industrial, and retail sectors.

* Distribution and marketing of aviation fuels (Jet A-1) to airports and airlines.
