SOCAR Expands Romanian Gas Station Network To 14 Units, Plans New Openings

SOCAR Romania general manager Hamza Karimov said Tuesday the new gas stations will be opened in Bacau, Focsani and Roman (eastern Romania).

In 2011, SOCAR bought fuel distributor Romtranspetrol from two Romanian businesspeople. The company said last year it wanted to expand its local network to 300 gas stations in the following years.

SOCAR employs 220 people in its 14 Romanian gas stations.
