KYIV. Jan 18 (Interfax-Ukraine) – The OKKO filling station chain increased the number of gas skids at its operating or new filling stations by almost one third (50 units), to 210 units.
The chain’s press service reported that in December 11 new gas skids were launched. Last year three autonomous gas filling stations started operating last year.
OKKO invested over UAH 100 million in expansion of its gas skid chain in 2016.
“In volumes of gas consumption by vehicles Ukraine is one of the leaders in Ukraine. This gas market continues quickly growing and requires new infrastructure and new outlets. Judging by demand of clients our chain creates as best opportunities for drivers as possible to allow each driver to get gas quickly, safely and on the convenient route,” Head of OKKO chain development department Nazar Turkhan said.
Galnaftogaz Concern manages a large filling station in Ukraine. It consists of around 400 filling stations under the OKKO brand.
The majority shareholder of the concern is Vitaliy Antonov. The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) is among minority shareholders.
