Helping with Global Development, Problem Resolution, and Reliable Energy Supply

As an energy supplier, the oil industry has the critical mission of providing a stable supply of energy. Currently, to accomplish the goals of improving refinery productivity and strengthening competitiveness, as well as providing a stable supply of energy, the industry is working to make operations safe and stable, to reduce costs, and to upgrade refinery equipment, in order to construct a robust supply chain extending from the refinery to the gas station. At the same time, the industry has been pressing forward to better serve society's needs by transforming itself into a comprehensive energy supplier.

Azbil provides its measurement and control products, solutions, and maintenance services in all kinds of areas across the supply chain, including oil refineries (both onsite and offsite facilities), oil tanks, and oil storage depots. We look forward to making further contributions to improve the dependability of the energy supply and to help customers with global development and problem resolution.
