To follow the information about the one of the companies of Wissol Group, JSC Wissol Petroleum Georgia, broadcasted on local media during last few days, we announce: JSC Wissol Petroleum Georgia is indeed the leader of the petroleum products retail market in our country and the company has been maintaining the leadership position for many years. On the other hand, we don’t confirm the information stating that JSC Wissol Petroleum Georgia is on sale. Furthermore, we declare that we are staying in the petroleum products retail industry and the quest of Wissol Group for a medium-term perspective is to further develop business, which naturally does not exclude merging of our operations with some small or large players on the market that is, in fact, an usual practice for business growth and development in any normal country.

As the conclusion, we would like to underline that our group has always been open and transparent in communication with the local society and once we have any significant news on any business developments at our group we will be glad to inform the society immediately.
