Orlen has completed the acquisition of Doppler Energie and is officially entering Austria’s fuel retail market.
The company manages 267 service stations across the country and the purchase has grown Orlen’s international network up to nearly 3,500 outlets throughout Europe.
The Group is now exploring additional acquisition opportunities in the region and is taking steps to establish itself as a leader in electromobility within the Austrian market.
“We have become one of the top three players in the Austrian fuel market, boasting a retail market share of approximately 10%. The transaction propels us beyond the 98% mark of our strategic 2030 target for the number of service stations in the region,” said Daniel Obajtek, CEO and President of Orlen’s Management Board.
The Austrian fuel retail network includes 110 electric vehicle (EV) charging points across 34 locations, operating under the Turmstrom brand. Almost half of the acquired service stations are self-service facilities and 40 locations are equipped with solar PV panels.
Nearly 100 facilities have car wash services, half of them feature convenience stores, and around 80 incorporate a food and beverage concept. The transaction also included the acquisition of Austrocard, a fuel card provider serving both private and business customers.
