MOL said the acquisition of the Polish petrol stations is “an excellent fit” for the growth strategy of its consumer services business. The purchase “would provide a basis for future growth” in Poland, in which MOL has had a limited presence, it added.
Â
MOL had been tipped to acquire the petrol stations which Lotos had to part with as a condition for approval by the European Commission of its acquisition by PKN Orlen.
