Historie
Mit einer über 100-jährigen Tradition wird die Marke Gulf von Millionen von Kunden weltweit anerkannt und geschätzt. Im Jahr 1913 eröffneten wir die erste Tankstelle in Pittsburgh, USA, und sind seitdem führend im Kraftstoffeinzelhandel.
Dank unseres Pioniergeistes haben wir begonnen, andere Websites zu entwickeln und sie mit der auffälligen orangefarbenen Scheibe zu versehen, die heute noch Teil des Gulf-Logos ist. In den 1960er Jahren entwickelte die Marke Gulf hochkarätige Marketingkampagnen, darunter auch das Sponsoring der Apollo-Mondlandungen.
Die sofort erkennbare orangefarbene Scheibe von Gulf ist weltweit ein Synonym für qualitativ hochwertige Produkte, Innovation und technische Exzellenz.
Neben der weltweiten Abdeckung des Schmierstoffabsatzes ist Gulf heute in über 25 Ländern der Welt sowohl für den Kraftstoffeinzelhandel als auch für Schmierstoffe vertreten, mit dem Ziel, bis 2020 60 zu erreichen.
