Grupa Lotos S.A. was a vertically integrated oil company based in Gdańsk, in northern Poland. The company was listed in the Polish index WIG30. The Polish state was the majority shareholder with 53% percent.[2] The company's main activity branches were: crude oil production, refining and marketing of oil products. The company was a leader in lubricants on the Polish market.[3] Grupa Lotos was a producer of unleaded gasoline, diesel, fuel oils, aviation fuels, motor and industrial lubricants, bitumens and waxes.

In 2018 the Polish oil refiner and retailer PKN Orlen announced its intent to acquire the company. The merger approval from the European Commission required significant asset divestments by both companies and is expected to reach closing in June or July 2022.[4] On August 1, Orlen finalised the merger with Lotos.[5]

Consolidation

Grupa Lotos was a holding composed of Grupa Lotos - the parent undertaking which manages the refinery in Gdańsk - and 18 direct subsidiaries, including Lotos Czechowice (former Rafineria Czechowice), Lotos Jasło (former Rafineria Jasło), crude oil exploration and production company Petrobaltic. At the end of June 2006, Grupa Lotos employed 5547 people, which was 112 employees more than at the end of 2005.

Retail Petrol Stations Network Development Programme, which launched at the end of 2004 assumes expansion of the network stations to 500 outlets. That will allow Grupa Lotos to increase its share in the retail fuel market to approx. 10% in 2012. Purchase of Esso and Slovnaft petrol stations networks in Poland (both networks hold high quality standards[citation needed] and possess sell volume higher than the average petrol station in Poland) indicates concrete acceleration in the process of creation a modern cross-country retail stations network.[citation needed]

In 2020, state-run PKN Orlen plans to take over smaller rival Lotos, if it receives approval from the European Commission. The minister also suggested Poland should have greater control over the economy.[6][7]
