Strategy 2030, an integrated and diversified international energy group
Since its founding, Motor Oil has developed one of the most flexible and efficient refineries in Europe and brought together a very experienced supply and trading operation. This combination allowed Motor Oil to consistently outperform financially and be internationally competitive. Today, it constitutes an integrated and diversified international energy group that is growing steadily and responsibly focusing on the energy of tomorrow. Historically, more than 75% of MOH’s refined products were exported to global markets outside of Greece, highlighting our group’s extroversion and competitive advantage. Motor Oil’s fuels operations are complemented by its retail network of more than 1,500 fuel stations across 5 countries. A network represented by the most recognized and respected brands (Avin, Shell – Coral Licensee) in these markets. Electricity is one of the key pillars of the Group’s significant growth and transformation, predominantly powered by Renewable Energy Sources. Operating the second largest RES platform in Greece, we continue to invest dynamically and expand our business across the entire electricity value chain. Finally, we are responding to the need for efficient use of resources, operating one of the largest integrated circular economy businesses in Greece. We believe that circularity has an important role to play in reaching a sustainable future and we have already placed ourselves at the forefront of this trend.
