In 1926, Coral’s story began in Lebanon under the umbrella of the British company Shell. At the time, the country itself was taking shape. Roads were still being paved. The first cars were beginning to appear on Beirut’s streets. Aviation was in its infancy.
Coral was there.
For nearly a century, Coral has grown alongside Lebanon – witnessing its transformation, adapting to its challenges, and contributing to its development. What began as a fuel provider evolved into a key pillar of national energy security.
Today, Coral stands among Lebanon’s largest energy companies, ensuring the country’s most significant storage capacity and operating one of the widest and most modern station networks nationwide. Behind this scale are more than 1,000 dedicated employees who form the foundation of the company’s continuity and strength.
But Coral’s legacy is not measured in years alone. It is measured in trust – built across generations of drivers, families, businesses, and communities.
From witnessing the first vehicles on Lebanese roads to supporting the country’s mobility today, Coral has remained guided by the same principles: reliability, quality, and responsibility.
As Lebanon evolved, so did Coral – modernizing its infrastructure, expanding its reach, and strengthening its commitment to safety and excellence.
One hundred years later, Coral continues to move forward – not simply as a company with history, but as a company with vision. This is the story Coral is telling – a story we will keep writing through our policies, our partnerships, and above all, our people. It’s not the end of the story. It’s only the beginning of the next 100 years.
