The plan is aimed at strengthening the company\u2019s competitiveness, improving operational efficiency, and supporting its ability to generate sustainable returns and growth.<\/p>\n<p>Badawi stressed the importance of continuing to enhance the quality of products and services and leveraging the company\u2019s accumulated capabilities and expertise to develop its activities and maximize their returns. He also underscored the need to adhere to the highest occupational health and safety standards and maintain the quality of products and services provided to consumers, thereby strengthening customer confidence and the company\u2019s competitiveness.<\/p>\n<p>For his part, Coop Petroleum Chairman Mostafa al-Sayed reviewed the company\u2019s performance from July 2025 through June 2026, noting that it achieved record growth rates across several activities, resulting in a 43 percent increase in net profit compared with the previous year.<\/p>\n<p>al-Sayed said the company continued to implement an ambitious program to boost sales and increase its market share. Exports of lubricants rose to around 1,324 tons, up 30 percent from the previous year, while the company\u2019s market share reached approximately 16 percent.<\/p>\n<p>He also highlighted a significant surge in the company\u2019s marine bunkering business, with marine fuel volumes rising to approximately 107,000 tons, compared with 17,500 tons the previous year, representing a 610 percent increase. Domestic bunker supplies, meanwhile, reached around 65,000 tons.<\/p>\n<p>He added that sales of marine bunker fuel, together with revenues generated from services provided to cargo shipments, increased to approximately $80 million, compared with $16.5 million during the corresponding period, representing growth of 485 percent. This reflects the substantial development of the activity and its ability to maximize the company\u2019s foreign-currency earnings.<\/p>\n<p>The company\u2019s chairman noted that marine lubricant sales reached approximately 1,500 tons, valued at $3.7 million, marking a 30 percent increase compared with the corresponding period of the previous year.
