In 1887, several small oil companies banded together to form The Ohio Oil Company. From this humble beginning, we evolved into Marathon Petroleum Corporation. Along the way, gas stations took on new looks and additional services, new refining processes were born and the precursor to the modern credit card was first issued.
Marathon Petroleum Corporation (MPC) is a leading, integrated, downstream energy company headquartered in Findlay, Ohio. The company operates the nation's largest refining system. MPC's marketing system includes branded locations across the United States, including Marathon brand retail outlets. MPC also owns the general partner and majority limited partner interest in MPLX LP, a midstream company that owns and operates gathering, processing, and fractionation assets, as well as crude oil and light product transportation and logistics infrastructure.
