Benzina, a well-known Czech gas station chain, will soon disappear from the country’s landscape. By the end of next year, all Benzina stations will be rebranded as Orlen, a Polish petroleum company. This move comes as part of a larger effort by PKN Orlen, the owner of Benzina since 2005, to unify its gas stations under the Orlen brand.
Currently, there are 436 Benzina stations in the Czech Republic, and PKN Orlen has already rebranded 50 of them. However, the company plans to accelerate the process and repaint the logo and brand of approximately 300 gas stations by the end of this year. The remaining Benzina stations will be completely transformed into Orlen stations by the end of next year.
This change marks the end of an era for Benzina, which will celebrate its 67th birthday in 2025. Once a familiar sight on Czech roads, Benzina will soon be replaced by the Orlen brand. This rebranding effort is part of PKN Orlen’s strategy to streamline its operations and create a unified presence across its gas stations.
The transition from Benzina to Orlen will not only involve a change in branding but also a shift in the services and offerings provided at these gas stations. Customers can expect to see new features and improvements as Orlen takes over the operations.
While this change may take some getting used to for Czech drivers, it is a significant step for PKN Orlen in establishing its presence in the Czech Republic. With the rebranding of Benzina, Orlen aims to strengthen its position in the market and provide a consistent experience for customers across its gas stations.
