Who we are
Our network is currently composed of about 250 filling stations up and down the country.
PRIO is a 100% Portuguese company that was founded in 2006. Its main purpose is to distribute and sell liquid fuels and produce biofuels.
We are proud of how far we have come since 2006 and that we are the only petrol station company on the Iberian Peninsula with triple QSE (Quality, Safety and the Environment) certification.
It is thanks to the work and effort of everyone who works at PRIO that we can distribute high-quality fuels that meet the legally established technical requirements at the most competitive prices. Find here the nearest station. |
