Orlen is taking over the refueling stations from Hungary's MOL in a deal linked to MOL's acquisition of over 410 gas stations in Poland under an agreement with PKN Orlen and Grupa Lotos.
MOL signed that deal in January, after the European Commission required PKN Orlen to divest assets as a condition for approval of its acquisition of Grupa Lotos. At the same time, MOL agreed to sell a number of its own refueling stations to PKN Orlen.
Orlen has already taken over 79 gas stations in Hungary that operate under the Lukoil brand and will take over the remaining 64, gradually, by mid-2024.
The company is also taking over 39 of MOL's petrol stations in Slovakia.
