Milan, 28 October 2005 - Autogrill S.p.A. (Milan: AGL.MI) and OMV Slovenija d.o.o. have signed a contract to build and develop seven large F&B outlets in service areas along motorways in Slovenia.
OMV Slovenija, a subsidiary of the Austrian multinational OMV A.G., is the no. 2 fuel distributor on the Slovenian road network. The 20-year contract will generate overall revenues of €200m.
The Slovenian motorway network (two intersecting axes) has substantial development potential and will be extended to 500 km within two years. In particular, the East-West axis will form a significant portion of the so-called “Corridor 5” and constitute the main gateway towards other EU and non-EU countries.
The seven service areas, of which some will be of new construction, will be located alongside petrol stations.
