公司簡介
Shell's business relationship with China dates back more than a century.
In early 1890s, Marcus and Sam Samuel, the brothers who created the Shell Transport and Trading Company, began shipping kerosene to China.
By 1894, the Samuels were supplying kerosene to Shanghai in bulk. That same year, Royal Dutch Petroleum Company began exporting its 'Crown' kerosene to China. They built installations in Hong Kong, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Xiamen.
Shell Transport and Royal Dutch were originally competitors. In 1903, they agreed to establish a joint marketing company for the Far East operations. The Asiatic Petroleum Company (APC) was thus incorporated in London.
APC established branch offices in Hong Kong (1906) and Shanghai (1908). In 1913, these offices became the headquarters of the Asiatic Petroleum Company (South China) Ltd and the Asiatic Petroleum Company (North China) Ltd respectively.
In 1907, Royal Dutch and Shell Transport merged their businesses interests to form the Royal Dutch/Shell Group, though they still conducted business in China under the APC trade name.
By the beginning of World War II, Shell had more than 50 subsidiaries in mainland China, and ran 1000 sales outlets across some 20 provinces. This all came to a halt during the war, when the facilities were taken over by the Japanese and badly damaged.
After the war, reconstruction was rapid. Shell remained in China after 1950 and became the only western oil company trading in the PRC. Shell was allowed to retain its Shanghai head office until it was closed in 1966.
Meanwhile, Shell remained the market leader in oil and chemicals in Hong Kong.
Shell's re-entry into the PRC began in 1970/71, when Shell was invited to attend the Guangzhou Trade Fair. A Shell representative office was re-established in Beijing in 1980, and active trade in chemicals resumed. Within three years Shell had formed oil exploration ventures with Exxon and Phillips.
China's 'Open Door Policy' led to the opening of two Shell joint venture depots in Shenzhen Special Economic Zone in 1985 and 1987 respectively. Since then, Shell's businesses in China have continued to develop across a broad front.
Shell's history in China has been documented in a book: 'Looking to the Long Term - The Story of Shell in China'. Copies are available from our offices in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Hong Kong. You are also welcome to send us an e-mail requesting the publication.
殼牌在中國發展業務，已超過一百多年。
在十九世紀90年代初，殼牌運輸貿易有限公司的始創人馬科繚森默和森姆繚森默兄弟，便已開始把煤油輸入中國，並在香港、上海、廣州和廈門建立油庫。
1894年，森默兄弟已用散裝油輪運送煤油到上海。同年，荷蘭皇家石油公司開始進'Crown'牌煤油到中國。(當時內地稱這'Crown'的品牌爲僧帽牌；在香港則稱寶蓋牌)
殼牌運輸貿易有限公司與荷蘭皇家石油公司原是競爭對手。1903年，兩家公司合作經營遠東的業務，在倫敦成立亞細亞火油公司。
亞細亞火油公司分別於1906年及1908年在香港及上海成立辦事處。1913年，兩個辦事處分別成爲亞細亞火油(華南)有限公司和亞細亞火油(華北)有限公司的總辦事處。
1907年，荷蘭皇家與殼牌運輸合併業務，成立荷蘭皇家/殼牌集團。但當時公司在中國的業務仍通過亞細亞火油公司的名義經營。
至二次大戰前，殼牌在中國設立了超過50間附屬公司，在約20個省份經營1000個經銷處。大戰期間，所有設備給日軍佔據，並嚴重破壞，一切經營活動停頓。
戰後，殼牌的重建工作迅速進行。當中華人民共和國于1949年成立時，殼牌已雇有員工超過1000人，其中包括35名外籍員工和4名華籍經理。
1950年後，殼牌繼續在中國發展，並成爲當時唯一一間留在中國經營的西方油公司。殼牌在上海的總辦事處獲准保留，直至1966年，該辦事處才結束。
與此同時，殼牌在香港的石油和化工産品的業務一直保持領先地位。
1970、71年，殼牌獲邀參加廣州交易會。1980年，殼牌在北京建立辦事處，積極開展化工産品貿易。1983年，殼牌先後與埃克森石油公司及菲利普斯石油公司合作，開始在南中國海進行石油勘探工作。
隨著中國「對外開放政策」的實施，殼牌先後於1985年及1987年在深圳經濟特區設立了兩個合資油庫。此後，殼牌在中國更加積極投資，目前，已在多個省市發展廣泛的業務。
