The Plaza Group (TPG) is a multi-million dollar minority-owned international chemical marketing firm based in Houston, Texas. Started in 1994, we initially marketed only those chemical products produced at Texaco Refining and Marketing refineries located in El Dorado, Kansas, Delaware City, Delaware and Anacortes, Washington (Puget Sound) on an agency basis.
This arrangement resulted from the sale of most of the Texaco Chemical Company assets to Huntsman Corporation; the petrochemical units of the El Dorado, Puget Sound and Delaware City facilities were integral parts of these refineries and were therefore excluded from that sale. These facilities have subsequently become HFSinclair in El Dorado and Puget Sound, and PBF in Delaware.
Beginning in late 1997, The Plaza Group became the exclusive distributor of the chemical products produced at these facilities in a long-term contract. Today, The Plaza Group has agreements with CEPSA, Cenovus Energy, Total Energies, Mitsui, Valero, Flint Hills, Ineos, Borreguaard US, AdvanSix, Valenz, Delek US, Marathon and many other refineries and petrochemical producers that do not maintain a sales and marketing organization or otherwise have begun to outsource this function.
We will continue our commitment to personal service with our growing presence in the global marketplace which includes the recent addition of suppliers in Europe, Asia and Latin America.
