CPC was established in Shanghai on June 1, 1946, initially under the aegis of the Council of Resources – the precursor of today’s State-owned Enterprise Commission, Ministry of Economic Affairs.
Following the ROC government’s relocation to Taiwan in 1949, the corporate headquarters was set up in Taipei, and the company’s affiliation was transferred to the Ministry of Economic Affairs. Its business scope and facilities are carried out throughout Taiwan, encompassing importing, procurement, distribution of oil and gas. In addition, CPC produces petrochemical raw materials.
In 2003 CPC instituted a policy for sustainable development, in line with both the global trend and the need for environmental protection.
On February 9, 2007, the board of directors approved changing the company’s English name from “Chinese Petroleum Corporation” to “CPC Corporation, Taiwan.”
On June 17, 2016, the board of directors approved revising the company’s articles of association and moved its headquarters from Taipei City to Kaohsiung City.
