Did you know2024
INEOS Group is Europe's largest privately-held petrochemical company, yet almost unknown to the public. Its founder Jim Ratcliffe is the UK's richest person. INEOS owns Grangemouth — the UK's only oil refinery, whose threatened closure in 2023 prompted a government intervention. INEOS also recently acquired a stake in Mercedes-AMG F1 and attempted to buy Chelsea FC. PE resin is the foundation of a diverse private empire.
