With the merger of its parent companies - Chevron and Texaco - in 2001 and subsequent change of the parent company's name from ChevronTexaco to Chevron in 2005, Caltex Oil Pakistan Limited was renamed as Chevron Pakistan Limited in 2006.

It is presently engaged in the Fuels, Lubricants, CNG and LPG business in Pakistan. The company is marketing its products and services under the Caltex master brand. It has an extensive network of lubricants distributors across the country.
Chevron was the first oil marketing company to introduce many modern concepts in the industry in Pakistan. It was also the first oil marketing company to introduce international premium quality brands and new packaging concepts both for the hi-street market as well as for industrial customers.

Chevron Pakistan has recently undertaken further modernisation of its West Wharf Lubricants Blending Plant with the installation of a fully automated, state-of-the art filling and packaging line. This project involves a significant capital investment and is geared towards meeting the future needs of our valued customers. Salient features of this project are as follows:
---- Label pasting operation on high speed automatic labelling machine applying hot-melt adhesive based labels on bottles.
---- These labelled bottles are fed into filler through automatic in-feed conveyors. All bottle conveyors of this fully automatic line are equipped with trays to avoid any spill.
---- One of the best Italian made in-line high speed volumetric fillers (Comaco brand) with ten nozzles filling capability has been acquired and installed.
---- Four head rotary capper, Arol, is used to apply new imported Beri caps with anti counterfeit feature and built-in induction foils on filled cans. Built-in cap and foil detector is used to identify the presence of foil and complete tightening of caps.
---- World's best Induction sealer, Enercon, is use to weld the cap seal to the mouth of the can. Specific traceability details are printed on cans through Image brand inkjet printer.
---- TMG brand high speed pick and place carton packer, picks 12 cans at a time and places them in 3 cartons with the required orientation.
---- These cartons are formed and supplied to carton packer through TMG carton erector which automatically opens the carton, closes the bottom flaps and seals them with hot-melt glue.
---- Filled cartons are the passed through carton sealer which closes the upper flaps of these cartons and seals them with hot melt glue at the same time.
---- The weight of the filled cartons is checked on on-line weight checked. Any short filled carton is rejected and collected on separate collection conveyor.
---- A state-of-the-art robotic palletising system of Fanuc is installed which provides complete palletising solution starting from empty wooden pallets supply on line, picking of filled cartons and placement on two different pallets at the same time in the required configuration.
---- Full pallets are then wrapped with stretch film through high speed automatic rotating arm- wrapping machine to give them extra stability during further distribution to warehouses.
In addition to the modernisation of the blending plant, we have also introduced stylish new design cans for our Havoline and Delo range of high-quality lubricants. Besides a brand new design of these cans, the packaging changes involves introduction of a new, imported tamper-proof caps that will help in better differentiating counterfeit and tampered products. The labels and cartons have also been redesigned to make them more attractive and their text more legible.
The new packaging was recently launched in Pakistan through an extensive media campaign involving TV, radio, newspapers and outdoor. Our customers and channel partners were all praise not only for the eye-catching new cans but also for the creative and highly noticeable launch campaign.
