Burmah Oil Public Limited Company (Glasgow)

In 1966, Castrol was acquired by Burmah, which was renamed Burmah-Castrol. The Bank of England came to the rescue of Burmah Oil after the company lost its tanker fleets in 1974. The core of the rescue operation was the provision of a year's grace so that the company could become smaller and more viable. In 2000, Burmah-Castrol was acquired by the then BP Amoco plc (now renamed BP plc). Quelle: http://www.fundinguniverse.com/company-histories/Burmah-Castrol-PLC-Company-History.html am 28.1.2011
