The company’s operations focus on refining crude oil into finished fuels such as gasoline, diesel and jet fuel, as well as producing asphalt and other refined product streams for commercial and industrial customers. In addition to refining, Valero has significant operations in renewable fuels, including the production of ethanol and other biofuels, and it manages an extensive logistics network of pipelines, terminals, rail and marine assets to move feedstocks and finished products. The company supplies product through wholesale channels and a branded retail network, supporting retail sites and commercial customers across its operating regions. Valero’s business is geographically concentrated in North America, where it operates refining and renewable fuels assets, while also maintaining a presence in select international markets. Its integrated model spans procurement, processing, distribution and marketing, which allows the company to respond to regional demand patterns and regulatory requirements affecting fuels and low‑carbon product lines. Founded in the late 20th century, Valero has expanded through a mix of organic investment and strategic transactions to become one of the larger independent refiners and fuels producers in its markets. The company is governed by an executive leadership team and board of directors; for the most current information on management, corporate governance and recent developments, consult Valero’s public filings and corporate website.
