A strategic energy infrastructure
We operate in the distribution of liquid fuels in Greece and the Republic of North Macedonia through our subsidiary, Vardax, while also promoting cross-border cooperation and ensuring reliable supply across the wider region.
With the resumption of its commercial operation after nearly 14 years, the Vardax underground pipeline returns as a modern energy infrastructure of strategic importance. The pipeline connects the Group’s industrial facilities in Thessaloniki with OKTA’s facilities in Skopje. Through its upgrade and reactivation, we strengthen our role as a regional energy provider and we make a meaningful contribution to supply stability and energy security in Southeast Europe.
