PKN Orlen, now known simply as Orlen S.A., is a leading Polish multinational and integrated multi-utility corporation headquartered in Płock, Poland. The company operates primarily in the energy and fuel sectors, with activities spanning the entire value chain: from upstream oil and gas exploration and production to downstream refining, petrochemicals, power generation, and distribution.

Orlen supplies energy and fuel to over 100 million Europeans, and its advanced products are sold in more than 100 countries across six continents. The company’s portfolio includes a wide range of products such as fuels, oils, chemicals, petrochemicals, electricity (from both conventional and renewable sources), natural gas, and various specialty chemicals and polymers.

Orlen is publicly listed, with the Polish state holding a significant minority stake. As of 2023, it reported revenues exceeding PLN 373 billion (approximately USD 90 billion) and employed over 64,000 people globally. The company owns more than 3,400 service stations across seven countries and has expanded its operations throughout Central Europe, Canada, and several other international markets.

The company’s recent mergers with LOTOS (an oil producer) and PGNiG (a gas producer) have further consolidated its position as the largest company in Central and Eastern Europe.
