And here ORLEN came to the rescue, thanks to which we have a chance not only to stay on the market, but also to save 400 jobs in our plant and in the plants cooperating with us on this order, explains Dominik Kosun, Managing Director of Brubeck.

Already as much as 85 percent. products available at ORLEN stations are made in Poland. A study by the Kantar Institute convincingly confirmed that we value this activity of PKN ORLEN: 75% of Poles believe that national magnates should be actively involved in supporting local entrepreneurs. And almost 90% of buyers are motivated to buy this or that product by information about its national origin.
Responsible business
From the very beginning, PKN ORLEN has been actively involved in the fight against the coronavirus pandemic.
At all ORLEN stations, in addition to masks, hand sanitizers produced by Zakład w Jedliczu, which is part of the ORLEN group, are regularly available. Thus, the concern strengthens the security of citizens and actively supports domestic business, and hence the Polish economy.
