History
- 1964 - Refinery commissioned by Snamprogetti with a capacity of 22,610
- 1980 - Bitumen Blowing Unit & Solvent De-asphalting Unit commissioned
- 1981 - A FCC (Fluid Catalytic Cracking ) complex was completed, its capacity being one million tons per year.
- 1994 - both Platformings were renovated, the Visbreaking was reconstructed and HDS (Hydrodesulfurization) was brought up to date.
- 1997 - For the purpose of producing more diesel fuels with reduced sulfur content in compliance with European quality standards, the building of a new HDS/MHC (Hydrodesulfurization/Mild Hydrocracking) facility was completed.
- 2003 - The government of Croatia announced its decision to privatize the state-owned company of INA, which included the Rijeka Refinery and Maziva Rijeka. It was decided to accept the offer of the Hungarian company MOL, whereby MOL becomes INA’s strategic partner, and owner of 25 percent plus one share of INA.
- 2011 - The first phase of Rijeka Refinery modernization were put into operation
