 PROFILE
No, Cosmo Oil is not a cosmetic sponsored by Helen Gurley Brown. The company is Japan's #3 oil refiner (behind Nippon Mitsubishi Oil and Idemitsu Kosan) and a major petroleum distributor. Cosmo Oil has four refineries; it markets its products through a network of 455 dealers and more than 6,100 Cosmo gas stations. It imports crude oil from the Middle East and Australia and has affiliates in Singapore, Taiwan, the UK, and the US. With its industry rapidly consolidating, Cosmo Oil is streamlining operations. The company is pruning back its chain of service stations, and it has formed a refining and distribution joint venture with Nippon Mitsubishi Oil that controls 40% of Japan's oil refining market.
