Delek U.S. Holdings Inc. has been selling gas at its chain of convenience stores throughout the southeastern United States for several years. But with an investment in Tyler‚ the public company is moving up the petroleum supply chain.
In 2005‚ Delek purchased the La Gloria refinery‚ the company’s first foray into oil refining in the United States. The company has poured $100 million into the operation in the two years since‚ modernizing the aging refinery‚ improving its reliability and bringing it into environmental compliance.
One area of the facility that didn’t need an upgrade was personnel.
“The workforce has been incredible‚” says Fred Green‚ vice president and chief operating officer of Delek Refining.
“We have a great relationship with our employees.”
Delek employs about 230 people at its Tyler operation‚ an increase of about 20 workers since the acquisition. Employees work in four departments: crude oil pipeline‚ refinery‚ product terminal and trucking.
Delek Refining produces about 60‚000 barrels of oil per day.
