Number of ORLEN Stations Almost Doubles in Hungary

From January to the end of April, ORLEN Hungary will own 63 petrol stations, which will make the company's pumps available at a total of 141 locations on the Hungarian market, ORLEN told MTI on Tuesday.

According to the schedule, the company will open an average of four new units every week until the end of April. In addition to the Budaörsi Road filling station (in Budapest), which was the first to open, ORLEN will take over eight more stations in the capital, bringing the total number of Budapest sites to 19. In addition to the capital, the network will also be extended this year to other important county seats such as Győr, Székesfehérvár, Kaposvár and Szombathely.

The company already has service stations in several towns and cities, but from this year onwards, motorists will be able to fill up at four ORLEN stations in Kecskemét, three in Szeged, three in Nyíregyháza and three in Debrecen, and two in Miskolc, Zalaegerszeg, Békéscsaba, Pécs and Veszprém. In addition, the network will be expanded in the vicinity of important tourist destinations and along motorways.

The expansion in Hungary is in line with ORLEN's regional development strategy, as part of which the group recently entered the Austrian market, and its network is now present in seven Central European countries, they said.

Poland's ORLEN entered the Hungarian retail fuel market on December 1, 2022, following an agreement with Mol Group to take over filling stations in Hungary and Slovakia. ORLEN currently operates 3,439 service stations, of which 1,931 are in Poland and 1,508 in Germany, the Czech Republic, Austria, Hungary, Slovakia and Lithuania.
