It is noted that It is recalled that the Group’s Refinery, located in Ag. Theodoroi in Corinth is the largest purely private industrial complex in Greece and is considered one of the most modern refineries in Europe with a complexity index of 12.61 (Nelson Complexity Index).

The construction of the Naphtha Treatment Complex was recently completed and the investment in a new propylene unit will soon begin. At the same time, investments are continuing in the energy upgrade and infrastructure optimization at the Refinery.

It has the capacity to process various types of crude oil and manufactures a wide range of oil products. It supplies commercial oil companies in Greece, but the bulk of its production is sold abroad.
