History

Since Delek’s inception in 2001, our strategic vision has been to merge the acquisition savvy of a private equity firm with the management and operational expertise of seasoned energy industry veterans.

The result is a company that has become one of the more active acquirers of downstream energy assets. Our success, however, has not been solely the result of an opportunistic acquisition strategy. Our growth has hinged greatly on the ability of management to consistently enhance the efficiency and profitability of purchased assets. The good news for our shareholders is that we’re just getting started. 

Since 2001, we have completed multiple acquisitions in the refining, marketing/logistics, and convenience store industries. The merging of assets from across the downstream energy supply chain has positioned us to benefit from a diversified revenue base. By leveraging the synergies, scalability, and operational efficiencies that overlap throughout our asset portfolio, we can create opportunities through the business cycle.

Today, we are a diversified downstream energy company with assets in petroleum refining, logistics, asphalt, renewable fuels, and convenience store retailing. Key events in our history are summarized below:
