ORLEN S.A. (PKN Orlen)

Płock

ORLEN is Central Europe's largest energy company, created in 1999 from the merger of Poland's state oil refineries and transformed in 2022-2023 through the acquisitions of fellow Polish fuel giant Lotos and gas monopoly PGNiG. Headquartered in Płock, Poland, the group employs about 100,000 people and generates annual revenue of roughly PLN 400 billion (US$100 billion), making it one of the 100 largest companies in the world by revenue.\n\nThe group operates refineries in Płock, Gdańsk, Litvinov (Czech Republic), and Mažeikiai (Lithuania), with a combined throughput of more than 35 million tonnes of crude per year, and runs the largest fuel retail network in Central Europe with over 3,000 stations across Poland, Germany, Czech Republic, and the Baltics. Beyond refining, ORLEN has built one of Europe's fastest-growing petrochemical and olefins businesses, and through its PGNiG and Baltic Power projects is becoming a major player in gas, offshore wind, and nuclear energy — it is leading Poland's first offshore wind farms in the Baltic Sea and planning small modular reactors with GE Hitachi.\n\nFor industrial buyers, ORLEN is a scale supplier of refined fuels, lubricants, and petrochemicals — polyethylene, polypropylene, and PTA — across the EU market, and a major buyer of drilling equipment, refinery process technology, and wind-turbine components as it executes one of Europe's largest energy-transition investment programs.
