The original refinery was built on the Dundee site in 1931 by William Briggs & Sons Ltd. It was sold to Tarmac in 1968 and then to the AB Nynas Petroleum Group in 1992.
The refinery processes extra heavy crude oils to produce a comprehensive range of straight run and blown bitumens. Some of these are then further processed to produce cutback bitumen, emulsions and polymer modified emulsion.
A range of distillates including gas oil, marine diesel, lubricating oil base stocks and fuel oils are also produced.
The refinery throughput was increased from 100 000 to 330 000 tonnes/year in 1974 and then to 550 000 tonnes/year in 1989.
