Entity

SARPOM S.r.l. is a significant company in Italy’s refining and logistics sector, operating the Sarpom refinery in Trecate (Novara) and the Quiliano coastal depot in Savona. The company manages a large-scale industrial complex, including a refinery that produces fuels and other petroleum products, a major storage and shipping facility on the Ligurian coast, and an extensive pipeline network that supplies northern Italy.

Originally, SARPOM was jointly owned by Esso Italiana S.r.l. (part of ExxonMobil) and Italiana Petroli S.p.A. (IP, Gruppo API), with Esso holding a majority stake of just over 75% and IP holding the remainder. On October 1, 2023, Italiana Petroli acquired Esso Italiana’s majority share, becoming the sole owner of SARPOM S.r.l. This acquisition was part of a broader transaction in which IP took over Esso Italiana’s refining and fuel-related assets in Italy. As a result, SARPOM S.r.l. is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Italiana Petroli S.p.A., fully integrated into the IP/Gruppo API network, and this move has significantly strengthened IP’s position as the leading private operator in Italy’s downstream oil sector.
