Founding Date? 1906.

https://www.chevron.com/who-we-are/history It seems that even Chevron admits "a new entity was born" on 1906
https://www.britannica.com/money/Chevron-Corporation#ref213519 Britannica lists the founding date as 1906
Any previous companies are predecessor and can be part of the history

Chevron Doesn't Produce Plastics?

Chevron Corporation doesn't produce plastics or have a plastics manufacturing subsidiary? I find that very hard to believe since all of the largest petroleum producers in the world, own plastics subsidiaries. Actually, as I've looked further outside of Wikipedia, apparently Chevron Phillips Chemical is their primary plastics manufacturer, but there are 2 others, as well, including Chevron Lubricants and Chevron Oronite Company LLC. I don't know if the Chevron affiliate, Chevron Lubricants Lanka, is the sole embodiment of that firm, or if there are others, but it does necessitate investigation by an editor associated with this article to pursue. Maybe, since it is such a giant aspect of petroleum manufacturing, petroleum byproducts should have a paragraph included in this article and entries in SEE ALSO?
