Coral is a UK-based company incorporated in 1925. Registering its Lebanese branch in 1926, it was among the first companies to have serviced the Lebanese energy market, whereby it operated commercially under Shell until 1976. Since then, the company has been known as “THE CORAL OIL COMPANY LIMITED.” In 2016, Coral was fully acquired by the Alfred Yamin family as part of the Yamin family’s expansion into the petrochemical industry.
