Corlay Côte d’Ivoire, the historic energy company formerly known as Texaco, has kicked off a year-long celebration to honor six decades of operations. The milestone was launched with a high-profile event at its Vridi headquarters in Abidjan, bringing together partners, employees, and government officials to reflect on past achievements and chart a transformative future.
The milestone event underscored the company’s commitment to modernizing its operations and strengthening its leadership in West Africa’s evolving energy landscape. Under its 2026–2030 strategic plan, Corlay Côte d’Ivoire is prioritizing governance enhancement, workforce development, digital transformation, and sustainable growth initiatives designed to create long-term value for stakeholders.
Leadership vision: building the Corlay of tomorrow
Speaking at the anniversary launch, CEO Alassane Ouattara emphasized the company’s legacy of resilience and customer trust. “These six decades are a testament to our enduring partnership with clients, partners, and collaborators. Our vision is to carry this legacy forward with responsibility, innovation, and determination,” he said.
Over the coming months, a series of commemorative activities will unfold across Côte d’Ivoire, including promotional campaigns, community outreach, and social initiatives aimed at deepening the company’s connection with local communities. These efforts reflect Corlay’s broader ambition to reinforce its position as a trusted energy partner across the nation and beyond.
Expanding capabilities and market reach
Mohamed Touré, a senior executive, highlighted the company’s strategic positioning across key sectors: industrial energy, maritime fuel supply, and high-performance lubricants. With more than 60 service stations nationwide and a production capacity of 16,000 tons of lubricants annually, Corlay Côte d’Ivoire has established itself as a leading player in both local and regional markets.
The company is now focused on expanding its maritime fueling operations and developing advanced energy solutions that align with the region’s growing demand for reliable and sustainable energy. In a rapidly changing energy environment, Corlay is positioning itself to lead innovation and deliver value in every market it serves.
As Côte d’Ivoire continues to strengthen its energy infrastructure, Corlay Côte d’Ivoire is not only celebrating its past but actively shaping a future where reliability, innovation, and community engagement define its leadership in Africa’s energy sector.
