In these difficult times, we continued to innovate and create value. The most important example was in the field of mineral oils. We completed all our meetings with Chevron in less than a year during the Covid-19 period, and as of September 2020, we undertook all activities including the production of Texaco products, which is Chevron's main brand in lubricants, in Turkey. Now, we are proud to complete the preparations and start the production of the first Texaco branded products within the scope of this cooperation. The agreement, which is the sign and first step of this beautiful cooperation, now symbolizes the beginning of development and contribution to be made. I wish this first production to be beneficial for Petrol Ofisi, Chevron and our country.”
