Overview of ExxonMobil Finland Oy Ab

ExxonMobil's operations rely on high-quality products, reliable deliveries and close cooperation with customers. The high quality of customer products includes rigorous processes for which ExxonMobil Finland, as the first oil company, has been granted the quality certificate under the European ISO 9000 standard. Environmental considerations in product development and in all its activities form an essential part of the expertise ExxonMobil Finland Oy Ab offers to its customers. 

Trademarks

ExxonMobil

The ExxonMobil logo is used as a trademark when liquid fuels and lubricants are bought and transported in large quantities at one time, e.g., for the use in ocean liners and aviation. Products for local consumers are marketed under the trademarks Esso and Mobil.

However, whether the trademarks Esso, Mobil or ExxonMobil are used, the customer can be certain that the product fulfills the highest quality requirements.

Esso

ESSO is an abbreviation of the company name Standard Oil (S.O.), an oil company founded by John D. Rockefeller in 1882. In the 1970s, the U.S. judiciary imposed certain restrictions on the use of the names Standard Oil and Esso, after which the name of the company as well as the trademark were changed to Exxon in the United States. Since the 1999 merger of Exxon Corporation with Mobil Corporation, the company’s name has been ExxonMobil.

Mobil 1

Mobil’s newest products are tested in practice in Formula-1 racing. An oil compound which performs well in the Formula 1 environment will eventually find its way to the consumers.

The temperature of a racing engine running at top speed is comparable to the temperature of a standard car engine on a hot summer day. Engine manufacturers will do everything to raise the performance of their products, and Mobil naturally takes part in this technical and technological development work, with the motorist always being the ultimate winner. The car’s engine will run better, last longer and consume less fuel.

Mobil

Already for over 100 years, Mobil has been making new inroads into product development. During this time Mobil has developed lubricants meeting the technical requirements set for all segments of the market. Moreover, Mobil has secured a strong position in the synthetic lubricants sector. Proof of this is that high-price category producers, such as Porsche, Mercedes Benz AMG and Aston Martin, have chosen to use Mobil 1 motor oil for the first fill-up in their production line.

History

Mobil Oil Oy Ab

Mobil Oil Oy Ab’s operations in Finland are considered to have begun in 1906, when the U.S. Vacuum Oil Company’s Finnish branch office was entered into our country’s Commercial Register. The company markets mineral-oil based lubricants. Mobil Oil was registered as a trademark first in 1918, and Mobil in 1934. The name Mobil Oil Oy Ab was changed on 1/1/2008 to ExxonMobil Finland Oy Ab. Mobil is retained as the company’s trademark.

Oy Esso Ab

In 1920, a company was established in Helsinki, which Oy Esso Ab considers to be its predecessor company. The founders of the new company were Nobelin Öljyntuonti Osakeyhtiö [Nobel Oil Import Company] in Finland and the Finnish subsidiary of Standard Oil Company (NJ). In 1954, all shares were transferred to the ownership of Standard Oil (NJ), and then later to Exxon Corporation. The name Esso, which is formed from the first letters of the words Standard Oil (S & O), was first taken as a trademark in 1939, and as the name for the entire company in 1952. The entire share capital of Oy Esso Ab was transferred through a corporate arrangement to St1 Holding Oy in 2007.

ExxonMobil

In December 1999, the U.S. Exxon Corporation was merged with Mobil Oil Corporation resulting in a new company, Exxon Mobil Corporation, which is also the parent company of ExxonMobil Finland Oy Ab.
