What OMV Deutschland does

OMV Deutschland GmbH is a wholly-owned German subsidiary of OMV Aktiengesellschaft (headquartered in Vienna and listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange under ticker OMV), operating one of Germany's integrated refinery and petrochemical complexes at Burghausen, Bavaria. The Burghausen refinery processes approximately 3.8 million tonnes of crude oil annually, with a strategic emphasis on petrochemistry — naphtha is converted into ethylene, propylene, isobutene, and butadiene for downstream chemical production. The site is embedded in the Bavarian Chemical Triangle (Bayerisches Chemiedreieck), supplying olefins via dedicated pipeline to neighboring chemical producers including Borealis, Wacker Chemie, Clariant, and Vinnolit.

The product portfolio spans standard and premium road fuels (OMV Diesel ECO7, Performance Diesel ECO7 with HVO component, Super 95, Super Plus 98, HVO100 with ≥80% CO2 reduction), aviation fuels (Jet A1 and Sustainable Aviation Fuel reducing CO2 by more than 80%), marine fuels (ULSFO Marine Fuel RME 180 max. 0.1 S compliant with May 2025 SECA limits, Marine Gasöl ECO20 with 20% HVO), standard and polymer-modified bitumen (Starfalt® PmB with 35 years and 2.25 million tonnes delivered across 12 countries), base chemicals (olefins, aromatics, sustainable variants certified under ISCC PLUS mass balance), and natural gas including biogas, biomethane, and hydrogen. Proprietary technologies include ReOil® (patented chemical recycling of waste plastics into pyrolysis oil), a first-of-its-kind-in-Europe metathesis plant reducing propylene energy consumption by approximately 50%, and the Biturox® process for emissions-reduced industrial bitumen. Distribution is anchored by an extensive pipeline network — a 61 km crude oil pipeline from Steinhöring to Burghausen, product pipelines to Feldkirchen and Munich Airport, and connection to the 360 km Ethylene Pipeline South — with over 70% of transport volume moving by pipeline.

OMV Deutschland pursues a B2B sales-led go-to-market motion with dedicated Key Account Managers serving enterprise customers, supported by digital platforms (OMV Portal Pro for fuels, OMV Gas Kundenportal for gas procurement with 24/7 contract and consumption data access). The company operates through three wholly-owned sub-entities: OMV Deutschland Operations GmbH & Co. KG (production), OMV Deutschland Marketing & Trading GmbH & Co. KG (commercial), and OMV Gas Marketing & Trading Deutschland GmbH (gas trading, Düsseldorf). Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales of refined products, base chemicals, and bitumen, complemented by gas trading and risk management services including swaps, options, and multi-site contracts. The business is undergoing a major transformation aligned with OMV Strategy 2030, including the Circular Feedstock Walldürn GmbH joint venture with Interzero (planned production start 2026 at 260,000 tonnes/year — Europe's largest plastic sorting facility) and a target of net-zero emissions at the Burghausen site by 2045. Leadership transitioned on 17 July 2025 with Sebastian Posch assuming the Managing Director role from Stefan Hölbfer.
