Delek US Holdings is a holding company created by Delek Group following the completion of its merger with Marathon Petroleum Corporation in 2016. The transaction resulted in Delek Group holding a 100% interest in the new entity and named it as Delek US Holdings. The company was formed through a spinoff of assets owned by the company including retail, refining and marketing operations among other things.
The main reason behind the formation of this new entity was to allow for greater focus on business opportunities within the United States which are considered to be more successful compared to those outside of America’s borders. This move was also meant to create an operational efficiency between these two entities within one group as well as achieve better performance under their management frameworks and policies without any interference from foreign governments or regulatory agencies such as environmental authorities who might not understand their operations fully enough due to cultural differences between them and their counterparts overseas (mostly Europe).
Conclusion
We believe that Delek US Holdings is a company with significant opportunity for growth, and we are confident in its future.
