Agip ( acronym for Azienda Generale Italiana Petroli ) is the brand name of the petrol station network of the Italian oil and energy company Eni . The company was founded in 1926 and integrated into the newly founded Eni in 1953.
Corporate structure
Throughout Europe, Eni operates around 5,300 petrol stations, petrol station shops and motorway service stations under the brand name Agip, around 4,000 of them in Italy, making Eni the largest petrol station network operator in the country. Eni operates 417 petrol stations in Germany, 318 in Austria, 243 in Switzerland and 155 in France.
So far, Agip Austria GmbH operated 250 petrol stations in Austria. As of August 1, 2010, Eni has taken over all 100 Esso branded petrol stations in Austria. The brand appearance is gradually being redesigned with the six-legged dog plus the lettering "eni". This replaces the "Agip" label - and the Esso tiger.
logo
The company logo is a black, fire-breathing dog with six legs on a yellow background. The design by the sculptor Luigi Broggini was selected from 4000 proposals in a 1952 competition by Eni. The six legs of the imaginary animal stand for the two legs of the driver and the four wheels of a car.
