Producent Shell

More than a century and a half ago, in 1833, the English merchant Marcus Samuel Sr. opened a small shop in London and began selling exotic gizmos, among which were caskets decorated with seashells. Shell (Shell) later became a symbol of the world-famous Shell concern. Today, the red and yellow shell - the Shell logo - is registered as a trademark in more than 160 countries around the world.

Shell is the world's largest Anglo-Dutch company for the extraction of oil and gas, production and processing of petroleum products (gasoline, kerosene, diesel fuel, fuel oil, lubricants, solid hydrocarbons, bitumen, etc.). The rapid development of technologies that began in the second half of the 20th century allowed the world's leading energy companies to increase the production of energy resources at at the same time reducing costs and reducing the negative impact on the environment.
