Maxcom Petroli

What Maxcom Petroli does

Maxcom Petroli S.p.A. Con Socio Unico is an Italian privately held petroleum logistics company headquartered in Rome, founded on March 4, 1988, and operating under the direction and coordination of parent company Fin Go & Fuel S.p.A. The company built its platform by consolidating petroleum activities from several pre-existing firms and, shortly after founding, absorbing the Italian commercial petroleum operations of Texaco S.p.A. It owns and operates three strategically located depots across Italy — Sant'Agata (Milan area, 98,000 m³, pipeline-fed), Augusta in Sicily (57,000 m³, with ship mooring and blending), and Ciampino Airport in Rome (850 m³ of aviation fuel storage with JIG/IATA-compliant operations) — for a combined storage capacity of 155,850 cubic meters.

The company's revenue model is built on transaction fees and service charges across five distribution channels: extra-rete (extra-network) distribution of finished petroleum products to industrial and private consumption customers, marine bunkering (where it is positioned as a primary national supplier with international operations through subsidiaries), aviation refueling of military and civilian aircraft at Ciampino Airport (Jet A-1 and AvGas), third-party storage and handling under depot and exchange contracts with major Italian oil companies, and LNG distribution through a dedicated Maxcom LNG division launched in November 2019. Technical differentiators include inline JP8 military fuel additivation, blending operations at Sant'Agata and Augusta, a water/oil separation plant at Augusta, and ISO 9001/14001/45001 certifications. In 2019, internal-market sales reached approximately 600,000 tons (80% Northern Italy, 20% Rome/Naples/Sicily) with military navy volumes of approximately 84,000 tons.

On December 31, 2020, Maxcom Petroli executed a significant corporate restructuring, transferring its petroleum product commercialization business unit — covering marine, aviation, extra-network distribution, and LNG — to a newly created jointly-controlled entity, jEnergy SpA. Post-restructuring, Maxcom retains its storage and logistics infrastructure while the commercial and trading activities operate under jEnergy. The company employs 51-100 people, has fully paid-in share capital of EUR 4,170,000, and has no public listing, no disclosed funding rounds, and no disclosed ownership changes beyond its single-shareholder structure under Fin Go & Fuel.
