Hellenic Petroleum emerged in 1998 from the formerly state-owned Public Petroleum Corporation SA (DEP). The main activities are in the processing and distribution of petroleum products and oil production. Others are in the field of electricity and the manufacture of plastic granulates. The company is listed in the Athex Composite Share Price Index on the Athens Stock Exchange .

Hellenic Petroleum has three refineries in Greece (Thessaloniki, Elefsina and Aspropyrgos) and one in the Republic of North Macedonia . The filling station network comprises 1,175 of a total of around 8,000 stations (under the name EKO) in Greece as well as others in Albania, North Macedonia and Georgia. In 2008 Opet Aygaz Bulgaria EAD ("OAB") was taken over, which operates further new stations in Bulgaria and maintains new facilities in Sofia.

In Greece there are also 23 tank systems at airports and a few LPG stations and tank farms.

history

State activities in the oil sector go back to 1907, but it was not until 1958 that the State Oil Company (DEP) was founded with facilities in Aspropirgos. After the fall of the military junta, Esso withdrew from Greece because it was now in a bad light as one of the main supporters. The DEP took over the refinery in Thessaloniki and the filling station network. In 1998 DEP was renamed Hellenic Petroleum and privatized. Since then, it has grown from a national company to the most important oil company in Southeast Europe.
