Following the acquisition of ENI Romania, MOL Romania PP, part of MOL Group, continues developing and expanding its petrol stations network. During 2015, taking part in the expansion of MOL retail network, Bates International has been engaged to provide project management for 2 greenfield stations – Campulung Muscel and Salonta.

At the same time acting again as designer and project manager for MOL we have also completed 4 pilot stations – Otopeni 1 and 2, Barbu Vacarescu in Bucharest, and Sibiu – Vestem. These four petrol stations have undergone implementation of the new regional „Fresh Corner” concept. Fresh Corner sections within MOL stations have a wide range of food supply, groceries and coffee.

For the next year, Bates International will also provide project management and consultancy for the further implementation of the Fresh Corner concept within more than half of the MOL petrol stations as well as within half of the acquired former Agip stations.
