Orlen’s expansion across Europe gains momentum
Published on: Jan 25, 2024
The brand’s growth across Austria, Germany, Slovakia and Hungary will amount to 3,500 locations across seven countries by mid-2024.
Following the acquisitions in Austria, Germany, Slovakia and Hungary, Orlen's foreign station count has surged by almost a third over the past year.
The Group is currently finalizing the purchase of more than 60 service stations in Hungary. As a result of its expansion, drivers will be able to refuel their cars at as many as 3,500 Orlen locations across seven European countries by mid-2024.
“Our priority now is to bring all newly acquired facilities up to the high standards that are the hallmark of the Orlen retail network. Additionally, we will consistently develop the EV charging infrastructure at further service stations,” said Daniel Obajtek, CEO and President of the Management Board of Orlen.
The company currently has 3,442 locations established across seven countries in Central and Eastern Europe. More than half of these locations feature Stop Cafe or Star Connect (in Germany) facilities, where customers can enjoy a wide range of meals, snacks and hot drinks, and buy groceries.
In 2023, Orlen opened Stop Cafes in more than 160 locations in Poland alone. Close to 60% of its service stations on the domestic market have already adopted this format.
