The Greek petroleum products market and specifically its retail segment is a diversified and competitive market shared by more than twenty companies, from which someone could easily pick out half of them. One of them is AEGEAN OIL, a solely Greek owned and based company with established headquarters at 42 Hatzikiriakou Avenue located at Piraeus.

AEGEAN OIL is the most dynamic and rapidly growing company in the Greek petroleum market.

Specifically, the company which already occupies a well established place in the top tier of companies that deal with the worldwide marketing and selling of refined fuel and lubricants began its activities in the retail market on the early 2000 and became known with a network of 550 gas stations that have been developed throughout Greece.

AEGEAN OIL owns modern state of the art installations at the northern part of Greece, in Alexandroupoli, from where service can be provided to customers based in East Macedonia and Thrace. The installations can be easily accessed from all type of vessels, trucks carrying refined fuels and oil distillates. In the southern part of Greece, service is provided by the Aspropyrgos installation that belongs to the sister company MELCO OIL, which in turn is connected through pipeline with the Aspropyrgos refinery that can be as well easily accessed from all type of vessels and trucks carrying refined fuels and oil distillates. Moreover, AEGEAN OIL has established office locations and performs loading activities from the state refineries of EL.PE in Aspropyrgos, Thessaloniki and Eleusis, and finally from the privately owned refinery of MOTOR OIL located near Corinth.

The fuel products are being distributed in the market with a fully owned fleet of 25 trucks, featuring all the latest standards in fuel transportation and delivery. Depending on the market needs, the operational ability is enhanced by various other collaborating / chartered trucks.

AEGEAN OIL has very rapidly expanded its network of gas stations, and has reached the fourth place in terms of sales in the official ranking of companies dealing with the refined fuels sales.

The main philosophy behind the company’s work structure is compiled by 4 basic key ideas: Actual quality of products and services, competitive prices, customer-driven policy and impressive corporate identity.

The capability to be able to provide quality products combined with excellent service is the company’s primary target, and this is recognised as its main strength and driving force, whereas the highly competitive prices of the AEGEAN OIL gas stations reflect the corporate policy understanding of the local market.

In the effort to eradicate all possible human intervention factors regarding the quality of the fuels, and in addition to all other counter measures already launched, AEGEAN OIL has established the quality testing of the fuel products with a mobile fully equipped lab and highly skilled and trained professionals. This innovative control measure determines the specifications of the fuels, and verifies that all fuel products purchased from AEGEAN OIL gas stations do comply with all the latest quality.

In this wide range of quality products and services, the company launched the market distribution of a full range, new technology lubricants series featuring the highest quality standards, which can meet any possible demand for lubrication. Moreover, the strategic cooperation of AEGEAN OIL and TEXACO that allows the distribution of the worldwide known TEXACO lubricants from the AEGEAN OIL gas stations network is still in place.

The customer driven policy that has resulted in the establishment of healthy and strong business relations with AEGEAN OIL partners, is the ultimate secret in the rapid growth of the company’s network. In addition to the above, the impressive corporate identity is reflected on the image of the gas stations, which feature outstanding design and very thorough colour selection that have become strong symbols for the company. One of the main corporate targets is the proper and uniform display of the network of gas stations throughout the five year agreement with the local managers, as per the latest EU legislations which also apply to Greece.

Besides the individual retail sales to clients that AEGEAN OIL provides through the gas station network, the company is also active in the retail sales to large organizations, such as hospitals, various institutions, and industrial plants.

Finally, AEGEAN OIL is accredited with the certificate ISO 9001:2000 (Quality Management System) as well as ISO 14001:2004 (Environmental Management System).
