About us

ExxonMobil is a leader in energy innovations that advance modern living and a net-zero future. As one of the world’s largest publicly traded energy and chemical companies, we are powered by a unique and diverse workforce fueled by pride in what we do and what we stand for.

The success of our Upstream, Product Solutions, and Low Carbon Solutions businesses is the result of the talent, curiosity, and drive of our people. They bring solutions every day to optimize our strategy in energy, chemicals, lubricants, and lower-emissions technologies.

We invite you to bring your ideas to ExxonMobil to help create sustainable solutions that improve quality of life and meet the changing needs of society.

Our sites in the Rotterdam port area belong to the Product Solutions division of ExxonMobil. With the latest technology and innovations, we are always working to renew and make our sites and products more sustainable. We manufacture base products for all kinds of daily products that you encounter in, for example, (electric) cars, hospitals, construction sites, and windmills. The best-known brand names of our products are Esso, Mobil, and Mobil1.

About our facilities in Rotterdam

• The refinery is integrated with the aromatics plant and is one of the most modern and efficient of its kind. The refinery processes various types of crude oil into high-quality base oils for lubricants, chemical raw materials, and fuels.
• The aromatics plant is one of the largest aromatics producers in the world. The plant is integrated with the refinery, resulting in significant energy and cost savings. We encounter aromatics in, for example, PET bottles and Styrofoam, in electrical (kitchen) equipment, car parts, sports shoes, and synthetic fibers and resins.
• The oxo alcohol plant is the largest producer of plasticizers in Europe. Plasticizers can be used to make 'hard' plastic soft and pliable. They are used to give flexibility to products such as cables, textiles, floor coverings, furniture, and footwear.
• The lubricating oil mixing plant in Pernis mixes base oils and additives into various lubricants. The products vary from solid motor oil to super-refined lubricants, intended for (electric) cars, aircraft, and ships, but also for industrial machines and wind turbines.
