Amoco Corporation
, originally
Standard Oil Company (Indiana)
, is a global
chemical
and
oil
company that was founded in 1889 around a
refinery
located in
Whiting, Indiana
, United States.
It later absorbed the
American Oil Company
, founded in
Baltimore
in 1910 and incorporated in 1922 by
Louis Blaustein
and his son Jacob. Amoco merged with
British Petroleum
in December 1998, forming BP Amoco. Shortly after the merger, Amoco stations began a rebranding that saw the stations change their names to the BP marque while continuing to sell Amoco-branded fuel. Eventually all traces of the Amoco brand name were eliminated and the stations adopted the BP branding permanently, although Amoco's grade naming system is still in use.
The firm's innovations included two essential parts of the modern industry, the
gasoline tanker truck
and the
drive-through filling station
.
