Instead of a ‘star’, customers are now greeted by an ‘eagle's head’ on the attica at more and more stations. In addition to the ORLEN petrol stations in Hamburg and the Seeberg-Ost motorway station, ORLEN stations are now also in the network in Dortmund, Neuss, Bremen and Flensburg after modernisation.
At the beginning of September, the CEO of ORLEN PKN S.A. Daniel Obajtek used a press briefing at the ORLEN station Seeberg-Ost in Neuenhagen near Berlin to make a clear commitment to Germany as a location. star and ORLEN: both brands supply the same high-quality fuels and offer the same excellent service to their customers.
Over the past few years, ORLEN has established itself as the most valuable brand in Poland. As part of the 2030 Strategy of PKN ORLEN, the parent company of ORLEN Deutschland GmbH, ORLEN will in future also be established as a strong brand outside of Poland. In other European countries, like the Czech Republic and Slovakia, the affiliation of the petrol stations to the ORLEN Group is already clearly recognisable by the name. In future, the ‘ORLEN eagle’ will also gradually replace the ‘star’ symbol at German petrol stations. After raze and rebuilding, as well as at all new locations, it will decorate the atticas.
In addition to the petrol station business with its outstanding service, Polish delicacies in particular have proven popular in the shops and bistros of the star and ORLEN petrol stations. Customers enjoy hot dogs and “zapiekanka”, a Polish pizza baguette. These competencies are going to be further expanded in the future in order to continue writing the success story together.
"We are proud to expand ORLEN brand in Germany. We are also offering more and more Polish products at our petrol stations. In this way, we also highlight our ties to our parent company on a culinary level,” says Waldemar Bogusch, CEO of ORLEN Deutschland GmbH.
