Essar's Stanlow Reports Record 2025 Domestic Sales After Capacity Boost

The company links the performance to new investment, urging CBAM coverage to protect UK refining.

Overview

  • Operational throughput rose about 8% year on year, with gantry dispatch volumes near all-time highs.
  • A $100 million turnaround, within a $350 million program, lifted capacity by roughly 8% and installed the UK’s first hydrogen-ready furnace.
  • Retail reach grew to 58 Essar-branded sites, with supply to over 100 dealer-owned forecourts supported by a December price drop.
  • Direct aviation supply now covers 10 major UK airports, reflecting broader gains across business units.
  • Strategic hubs at Kingsbury, Northampton, Grangemouth, Oikos and Grays bolstered resilience, helping meet urgent demand after two UK refineries closed in 2025.
