The UPG gas station chain has relaunched the first 100 gas stations that previously operated under the ANP and Avias brands, the company said in a press release on Thursday.
“The company is steadily expanding its network within the lease of 447 filling stations across the country,” UPG said.
Currently, the relaunched gas stations are already operating in 13 regions of Ukraine — in Kyiv, Kirovohrad, Lviv, Poltava, Odesa, Volyn, Rivne, Mykolaiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhia, Zhytomyr, and Zakarpattia regions, as well as in Kyiv.
According to a press release, the reopening of the first 100 gas stations has allowed the company to create more than 1,000 new jobs in the regions, with an average of 8 to 11 employees working at each station. Most of the employees at these gas stations are local residents, which contributes to economic activity in the communities. The average salary of employees in the UPG network is UAH 32,100 before tax, which is one of the highest in the industry.
The reopening of 100 gas stations also had a significant economic impact through investments in the restoration and development of critical energy infrastructure. According to the company’s forecasts, thanks to the operation of these stations, UPG will pay an additional UAH 3.6 billion in taxes and fees in 2026.
“The expansion of the network is part of UPG’s long-term strategy, which involves strengthening its presence in the regions, creating jobs, and increasing tax revenues. The implementation of this strategy has been made possible by the company’s consistent work over the past few years, as well as investments in logistics, infrastructure, and cooperation with leading refineries in Europe and the US,” said UPG Group founder Volodymyr Petrenko, whose words are quoted in the press release.
The company continues to gradually launch other leased stations, expanding its presence in the regions. All leased gas stations are planned to be opened during 2026.
UPG is a Ukrainian group of companies specializing in the trade of petroleum products. UPG is one of the three largest operators in Ukraine in terms of the number of stations. The group has its own logistics infrastructure and supplies fuel directly from leading refineries in Europe and the US. The founder of UPG is Volodymyr Petrenko.
