“In three years we are thinking of reducing the filling stations network, not only in Romania, but we have no exit plans for any market,” said Manfred Leitner, Head of Refineries and Marketing Division with OMV.

In Romania, Petrom’s network includes some 550 gas stations.

OMV announced last year its ten-year strategy that includes a reorganization of its downstream activities, while increasing its focus on exploration and power production.
