How it started

History

Slovnaft is the successor of the Apollo company. Apollo was established in 1895 in Bratislava. Its refinery was bombarded by the Allies in June 1944. Bratislava Apollo Bridge built over Danube is in proximity to the Apollo refinery historical site. The Slovnaft refinery started to be built in 1949.

On 1 May 1992, Slovnaft was reorganized as a joint-stock company, as successor to a state enterprise formed by the Czechoslovak government on 1 January 1949.

Acquisition of Benzinol, its domestic competitor, took place in 1995.

Since 2000, Slovnaft has been affiliated with the MOL Group.
