What EKO Cyprus does

EKO Cyprus is a private petroleum products and energy services company operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of HELLENiQ ENERGY Holdings (formerly Hellenic Petroleum Group), one of the largest energy groups in Greece and the wider Mediterranean region. Founded in 2002 and headquartered in Strovolos, Cyprus, the company supplies automotive fuels, lubricants, LPG, and industrial/marine petroleum products, operating a national network of petrol stations alongside fleet management services, an EV charging network, and kerosene heating oil distribution. Its core technology is proprietary fuel additive formulation: EKO Racing 100 is the only 100-octane gasoline available in Cyprus; EKO Racing 98 reduces friction by up to 4% and cuts carbon monoxide emissions by 15%; and Diesel AVIO Double Filtered incorporates aircraft-grade fuel filter technology achieving 98% filtration efficiency. The product portfolio is supported by state-of-the-art terminals at Vassiliko, Larnaca, and Limassol, the latter also serving as a marine diesel bunkering port.

The business generates revenue across multiple streams: retail fuel sales through per-liter pricing at the petrol station network, lubricant sales, LPG/autogas sales, industrial product sales (mazut, marine diesel, kerosene heating oil, JET A-1 aviation fuel), and recurring fees from fleet management services (EKO Card, EKO Easy Fuel/Fleet Fuel Control, GPS System). The company sells to a diversified customer base spanning individual consumers, professional driver groups (taxi, truck, driving schools), corporate fleet operators, industrial facilities, and government entities. Distribution is direct via company-owned stations, road tanker delivery, pipeline-to-barge supply at Larnaca Port, and the EKO Smile mobile app which enables contactless payment, loyalty points (Smiles), and conversion to AEGEAN Miles+Bonus airline miles. The company holds ISO 9001 certification, complies with EU SEVESO III industrial safety requirements, and has received multiple regional awards including Great Place to Work (2022) and Cyprus Mobile Excellence Awards (2021).
