The 53rd founding anniversary message

"GS Caltex has continued to grow by boldly embracing challenges and overcoming countless difficulties.

For example, when the Second Oil Crisis threatened refinery operations, we became the first Korean company in the industry to begin toll processing by using idle refining facilities.

Exports of semi-finished goods allowed us to prevail during hard times.

If we take preemptive measures, I believe we can turn the current crisis into another opportunity for progress."
