What AVIN does
AVIN (legal name AVINOIL ΜΟΝΟΠΡΟΣΩΠΗ Α.Ε.) is a Greek petroleum marketing and distribution company founded in 1977 in Athens and operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Motor Oil Hellas S.A. (ATHEX: MOIL). The company runs Greece's largest branded fuel station network with 500+ locations across the country, comprising more than 150 company-operated stations under its MAKRAION subsidiary plus a franchise/dealer network. AVIN also operates 11 exclusive 24-hour highway Car Service Stations (ΣΕΑ) and supplies industrial customers (asphalt, mazut, lubricants, heating oil) and home heating-oil delivery. The core product portfolio includes differentiated fuels (Action 100, Action Diesel, Best Value 95, Best Value Diesel), Coral Gas autogas, a full lubricants range under POWER (passenger), FORCE (commercial), GEAROL, ATF, AGRO and marine brands, plus specialty products including AVIN AdBlue and antifreeze coolants.
AVIN's technology stack combines a vertical supply chain anchored on the parent Motor Oil Hellas refinery (Nelson Complexity Index 11.54, sole fuel source for AVIN) with proprietary quality assurance (100% refinery testing, electronic tanker sealing for transport, mobile quality units conducting 40,000+ tests annually, Bureau Veritas third-party certification) and Coral Gas molecular-tracer LPG authentication. Customer-facing technology includes the AVIN Κερδίζω cashback loyalty mobile app, the AVIN Card corporate fleet management platform (avincard.gr) with prepaid and gift-card variants, and the AVINation sub-brand for drivers aged 18-25.
The business model generates revenue from retail fuel and lubricant sales across the company-operated and franchise network (transaction-based), AVIN Card corporate fleet management (interest-free ~30-day credit float plus volume discounts), B2B industrial product sales, home-delivery heating oil, marina fuel distribution, and ancillary retail including Agora convenience stores, Car Wash and Agora Café. Distribution is multi-channel: company-operated stations, franchise/dealer stations, direct B2B sales, home-delivery tanker fleet, marina phone-order delivery, and channel partnerships (Piraeus Bank, National Bank of Greece, DKV international fleet, NRG EV charging, Speedex parcel pickup). Strategic partnerships with Motor Oil Hellas (refinery integration), Coral Gas (LPG/tracer technology), Piraeus Bank (payment credit), DKV (international fleet), and NRG (EV charging) underpin the operating model.
