On October 21, OJSC "Kovelnaftoprodukt" – one of the most powerful enterprises in the industry in the Western region of Ukraine – celebrated its 60th anniversary. The total capacity of the Kovel oil depot is 25 thousand tons of petroleum products, reported the Western Information Corporation's own correspondent.
According to the chairman of the board of OJSC "Kovelnaftoprodukt" Yevhen Yeremeyev, at one time the oil depot was intended for pumping diesel fuel to other oil depots with its subsequent sale abroad. It was connected to the main oil pipeline and received the status of a transshipment point, which allowed for the transshipment of petroleum products from one mode of transport to another here.
Today, the workforce of "Kovelnaftoprodukt" numbers 318 people and serves 9 districts of the Volyn region. Soon the OJSC plans to expand its influence to five more districts.
The main supplier of petroleum products to OJSC "Kovelnaftoprodukt" is the "Halychyna" oil refining complex. According to the joint-stock company, fuel from this plant has never let them down: over the past three years there has been not a single serious complaint about the quality of petroleum products supplied from Drohobych.
Today, the joint venture "Western Oil Group," which owns the WOG gas station network, has transferred 11 of its filling complexes to the management of OJSC "Kovelnaftoprodukt." Such trust from the fuel brand is confirmation of the effectiveness of the Kovel workers' performance.
On the occasion of the enterprise's 60th anniversary, a festive concert was held at the city House of Culture, during which the mayor of Kovel, Yaroslav Shevchuk, presented the enterprise's best workers with commendations from the city council and monetary rewards, and their partners from Lutsk – a modern video camera.
