MOL Slovenia, a unit of Hungarian oil and gas company MOL, told MTI on Friday it signed an agreement to buy 19 TUS Oil petrol stations.

The MOL group will operate 37 petrol stations in Slovenia after the transaction is closed, pending approval by competition authorities.

The MOL group aims to boost its retail market share and achieve growth targets in Slovenia with the acquisition.

The group aims to take at least 10% of Slovenia’s vehicle fuel market in the coming several years, said MOL retail sales director Lászlo Piry.
