OMV  will sell its Italian subsidiary OMV Italia S.r.L to Italy's petroleum wholesaler San Marco Petroli, OMV, without giving the sale price.  As reported by PetrolWorld, OMV announced its withdrawal from the Italian fuel business last February.

OMV Italia office in Verona has around 20 employees and has been operating the OMV service station network in Italy since 1991.  The first OMV service station in Italy was opened in Nalles,South Tirol. In the following years, the service station network was expanded to a total of 96 stations. In 2008 OMV's market share amounted to approximately 0.4% of the Italian petrol retail market.

 With OMV Italia, San Marco Petroli would take over a network of 96 petrol stations in the Triveneto region of northern Italy. San Marco Petroli was founded in the early 1970'.  Located in Porto Marghera by Venice, the company's  activity was focused on fuel distribution and retail.  This has been expanded to encompass biofuels, fuel storage and the new energy era.
