Gulf Oil is a company that was founded in 1901 in Texas. The first gas station with its logo appeared in 1913. The brand is known to motorsport fans who may associate it with, among others, with Formula 1 racing. Qmex Energy, which is introducing it to the Polish market, wants to take advantage of this recognition. As Krystian Srebniak from Qmex Energy said in an interview with the magazine “At the gas station”, “because of associations with Formula 1 and motorcycle races, Gulf still lives in people's heads”, thanks to which the logo of the American giant is a “timeless sign”. The first Gulfa stations are scheduled to appear in Poland later this year.

– At this stage, we do not publicly communicate the list of specific locations in advance, most processes depend on the availability of locations, formalities and investment schedules – says Krystian Srebrniak from Qmex Energy in an interview with the portal tromiasto.pl. — When it comes to the Pomeranian Voivodeship and the Tricity, this is an area that we are also taking into account. We are interested in both owners of existing stations and entrepreneurs planning to enter the fuel market who are looking for a strong brand and real support in development – he informs.
