PetroGaz, the origins

Prof. Giuseppe Constantino Dragan, great Europeanist, realizing the LPG market’s potentiality and being motivated by the achievement of the targets of ButanGas Italy that year, founded PetroGaz in 1953. Two years later, in Thessaloniki, in the area of ​​Koukloutza, the first LPG storage facilities were built, which 14 years later are transferred to the area of ​​Diavata. Since the first years of the company, PetroGaz played an important role in the energy sector in Greece, making the name of PetroGaz almost a synonym of the word LPG in the Greek market. Very soon from the beginning, on 1961, the major plant of Aspropyrgos is inaugurated and the market development on the islands and the rest of mainland in Greece starts. Empowered by this great success, the following years PetroGaz, operated more branches and LPG storage and bottling plants throughout Greece: Mytilene (1962), Corfu (1972), Patra (1974-1975), Kalamata (1974-1975), Preveza (1974-1975), Heraklion (1980), Chania (1980), Chios (1980), Ioannina (1996), Larissa (1998), Alexandroupoli (2009). On 2019, the first owned gas station of PetroGaz brand starts its operations at 384 Avenue in Chaidari, Athens. Consumers are discovering, thanks to PetroGaz, a new way of heating and cooking. This is how the identification of the word LPG with the name of PetroGaz begins in Greece, creating a great history but also a bright future ahead.
