Flow through time
Established in July 1965, when the war of destruction in the North was at its fiercest, the Quang Vinh Supplies Department (later renamed Quang Binh General Supplies Company), the predecessor of Quang Binh Petroleum Company, safely transported more than 70,000 tons of gasoline. At that time, each drop of gasoline was as precious as blood, each shipment was like the lifeblood that fed the battlefields in the South.
Mr. Truong Van Thoan, former Director of Quang Binh General Supplies Company, recalled: “It was extremely difficult. A drop of gasoline was like blood, we had to hide it in a barrel buried underground, sometimes we had to evacuate at night, sometimes we had to be on duty to be ready to ship the goods. The Hill 18 warehouse was attacked regularly, but whenever we heard about a campaign, we went to work, transporting gasoline to the South, with the determination to ensure the smooth flow of trucks”. Four officers and employees were sacrificed, dozens of others were injured, people whose names were incarnated in the shipments that never died.
After the war, in the difficult conditions of reconstruction, the unit gradually restored its operations and consolidated its organization. On July 15, 1989, Quang Binh General Materials Company was officially established, marking a new milestone in the development process.
In 1995, when it merged and became a member of the Vietnam National Petroleum Corporation (now the Vietnam National Petroleum Group - Petrolimex ), the company entered a period of strategic transformation, from a traditional distribution model to modern, professional and integrated business development.
Accompanying and leading throughout the development process, the company's Party Committee has always been a steadfast, united and innovative political core. Generations of cadres and party members play a core role in labor, innovation and production organization.
For many years, the Party Committee has been recognized as a clean and strong organization, always linking Party building with production and business tasks. From each Party cell and each production team, that spirit spreads to become a driving force, fostering will, fostering responsibility and arousing the desire for development throughout the unit.
From that solid foundation, despite its modest starting point in terms of facilities and human resources, Quang Binh Petroleum Company has gradually grown, building an increasingly synchronous and modern business system.
The company has 50 5S standard gas stations, 5 gas - lubricant stores; 1 Song Gianh gas port with a capacity of 5,000m3; 1 gas trading center with a total charter capital of 59 billion VND.
The implementation of the 5-step sales model, application of ERP management system, EGAS software, electronic invoices... has helped the company comprehensively modernize its operations, approach the digital enterprise model, be environmentally friendly and enhance competitiveness in the new era.
Vice Chairman of Quang Tri Provincial People's Committee Phan Phong Phu assessed: Quang Binh Petroleum Company is a typical business model, always accompanying the socio-economic development of the province; playing a key role in stabilizing the market, ensuring energy security and actively participating in social security activities. In the Northern Quang Tri region, the company has gradually affirmed its leading position, with a market share of about 48%, clearly demonstrating its competitiveness and resilience in integration. |
Human mark and aspiration to reach far
The growth figures over the past decade have confirmed the strong resilience of Quang Binh Petroleum Company: petroleum output increased from over 75,000m3 to 120,000m3, an average of 6.7% per year; revenue from 1,080 billion VND to 2,200 billion VND; budget contribution of nearly 200 billion VND per year, up to 297 billion VND in some years. Along with business efficiency is the real care for employees, demonstrated through the average income increasing from 7.1 million to 14.8 million VND/person/month.

In that development journey, there are quiet but key positions such as Song Gianh petroleum port, which receives and sells tens of thousands of cubic meters of petroleum each year.
Mr. Le Phuc Nghia, Head of Song Gianh Petroleum Port Warehouse, who has been working at the port for nearly 30 years, shared: “On stormy nights, our colleagues still stay at the warehouse to check every indicator and every valve. For us, the warehouse is the “energy heart” of the whole area, so every operation must be absolutely precise, because even a small mistake can lead to big risks.”
If at Song Gianh petroleum terminal, the flow of petroleum is maintained with discipline and absolute precision, then at the retail line, where there is direct contact with customers, that flow is continued with a spirit of dedication and professionalism.
At gas station No. 50 (Kim Phu commune), Ms. Phan Thi Hong Thanh, with nearly 5 years of association, has become a familiar face to the people. A warm smile, a standard operation not only brings satisfaction but also fosters trust in the Petrolimex brand. She shared: "I always try to work with the utmost dedication, because when customers are satisfied, it is the common success of the whole team".
In the 60-year development journey, in addition to experienced cadres, the youth union members have also contributed to creating new momentum for the enterprise. Mr. Vu Le Tran, Secretary of the Youth Union, Deputy Head of Technical Management Department is one of the typical faces.
In addition to his professional duties, he proactively proposed many digital transformation initiatives, such as: Production management software, gas customer tracking system, electronic work schedule... helping to save hundreds of millions of VND each year, improving operational efficiency. Mr. Tran shared: "Each successful solution is an opportunity for the younger generation to affirm their capacity, innovate their thinking and contribute to building the image of professional petroleum workers in the integration era".
Along with production and business, the company always pays real attention to the community. In the period of 2020-2024 alone, the unit has contributed more than 9.6 billion VND to social security work: Building 63 "Great Unity" houses, supporting poor students, disadvantaged patients, people with disabilities, supporting Covid-19 prevention and many other charity programs.

Inheriting the achievements of 60 years of construction and development, Mr. Le Anh Hung, Party Secretary, Chairman and Director of the company, emphasized: The staff and employees need to continue to unite, innovate their thinking, promote technology investment, promote digital transformation, develop environmentally friendly products and take care of the next generation, especially the young. The company identifies modernizing infrastructure according to 5S standards, improving service quality, preserving corporate culture and fostering human values as core orientations in its sustainable development strategy.
With a solid 60-year foundation and a spirit of innovation, Quang Binh Petroleum Company continues to be a reliable support on the development journey of the new Quang Tri province, where every step forward carries pride and responsibility for building the future.
