Wholesale activity

IP api Group sells petrol and fuels  - diesel, fuel oils, gasoline - for industrial, civil and agricultural use with results that have placed it among the leaders of the Italian wholesale market .

The logistics infrastructure of IP also has the ability to supply customers in the entire Group's wholesale channel throughout the country. In this channel, the business areas are divided 50% between the Northern Area and the South Central Area and mainly exploit owned logistics bases, ensuring coverage on the Tyrrhenian and Adriatic sides.

The Wholesale channel has a commercial structure composed of direct sellers and local agencies to ensure the most effective proximity to resellers and end customers, also thanks to the acquisition of ENGYCALOR Energia e Calore.

Thanks to the activities of the refinery at Falconara, toward the BITUMTEC hub of excellence and the processing accounts with the companies Valli Zabban and Alma Ravenna, IP guarantees the marketing of bitumen, the base glue for the production of asphalt. They are in fact an essential element in the construction of road infrastructure and are at the origin of draining asphalt, which is useful for creating greater safety conditions for drivers and for extending the life cycle of the road surface. The bitumen sector's logistics production chain has also grown with a coastal depot in Naples, downstream of the acquisition of the assets of Esso Italiana, which makes it possible to meet the demand of the market in Central-Southern Italy

The production and use of high-performance lubricants allow, especially in combination with OPTIMO, better engine performance to be obtained and further contribute, albeit indirectly, to the overall reduction of emissions and waste. In fact, a well-lubricated engine consumes less and requires fewer oil changes.
