LUKOIL’s activities in Austria
On balance, LUKOIL has successively expanded its commitment in Austria over the past few years. The new headquarters of LUKOIL Lubricants Europe was opened in the Lobau area of Vienna in April 2016. The extensive investments valued at millions of euros provide important impetus to Austria as a business location.
