Dutch multinational oil group Rompetrol, also known as TRG, has opened its first Rompetrol-branded petrol station in France in conjunction with its French subsidiary Dyneff. The group has also entered the French biofuels market through its Rompetrol and Dyneff distribution networks.
Rompetrol said that it hopes to equip approximately 30 filling stations to provide superethanol E85 distribution to French consumers by the end of 2007. The company added that by providing increasingly-popular biofuels through both its retail brands in France, it is building on Dyneff’s pioneering ecological fuels.
Rompetrol also plans to open 10 new Rompetrol-branded distribution stations in France by the end of 2007, most of them on motorways. The new petrol station is on the French motorway network, at Arzens, near Carcassonne.
On top of bringing the highest quality standards for products and services to French consumers, the continued development of Rompetrol and Dyneff on the French market will have a positive impact of the local labor market, offering new jobs and business opportunities, said Dinu Patriciu, TRG chairman.
Mr Patriciu also announced the appointment of Laurent Sancier as CEO of Dyneff in France and Spain, effective May 21, 2007.
