Polmin (English: State Factory of Mineral Oils, Polish: Państwowa Fabryka Olejów Mineralnych) was an interwar Polish petroleum company. The company was founded in 1909 and nationalized in 1927. Crude run in 1930 reached over 731 thousand barrels, making Polmin the largest petroleum company in all of Interwar Poland with its annual capacity of 2.1 million barrels. Polmin produced gasoline, kerosine, various oils including lubricating oils, cylinder oils and special oils, solid lubricants, vaseline, paraffin, candles and asphalt. The company operated a large oil refinery in Drohobycz, which in late 1930s employed around 3000 people. The refinery in Drohobycz was one of the largest in all of Europe. The refinery in Drohobycz was built in 1909 and quickly surpassed all local rivals in capacity and production. Soon after its construction, the refinery transformed into the "C.K. Państwowa Fabryka Olejów Mineralnych". During the First World War, the refinery went through an almost year-long Russian occupation following their offensive into Galicia, during which the factory halted operations.
