Dr Max's hospitality industry secret about Shell Oil's 100th Anniversary

Here is an opportunity to book a Convention for your Hotel in 2003. This year celebrates the 100th anniversary of the amalgamation of competing Dutch and British companies as the two merged into the Asiatic Petroleum Company in 2003. The partnership worked so well that four years later it was extended to cover operations worldwide, with the creation of the Royal Dutch/Shell Group of Companies.

The partnership continues to this day. The two parent companies retain their separate businesses, and own the Group, with more than 1,700 active companies, in the proportion of 60% to Royal Dutch Petroleum, and 40% to the Shell Transport and Trading Company.
