Tamoil came into being in the 1970s when the Lebanese businessman Roger Tamraz, who was born in Egypt and lives in the United States, bought various oil refineries in the Middle East for around one billion US dollars . Tamraz, who had previously worked as an investment banker on Wall Street at Kidder, later added the refineries with the takeover of the Italian refinery and filling station network from Amoco and named the group Tamoil . In the 1980s, Tamoil and Gatoil, another Lebanese oil company, passed into Libyan ownership. Libya combined the two companies under the umbrella of the state-controlled company Oilinvest. In the group of around 40 individual companies in Europe, Tamoil is the largest; it spends about 350,000 barrels of crude oil per day from Libya for refining to Europe.
A sale of a 65% stake for US $ 3.5 billion to the US investment company Colony Capital , which was announced in 2007 , did not materialize.
