Petroprix opens second station in Chile
Spanish automated fuel retailer plans to reach 50 stations across the country.
Spanish automated fuel retailer Petroprix has opened its second station in Chile. The new Peñaflor site is a milestone the company described as arriving "thousands of kilometres from our base."
The first Chilean station opened on October 2, 2025 in Providencia, Santiago, making the Peñaflor opening roughly seven months later, in line with the company's original rollout plan. Petroprix had previously signalled that Peñaflor would be among its early Metropolitan Region targets, alongside Puente Alto and Providencia.
Founded in Jaén, Petroprix is the largest independent automated fuel network in Spain, with more than 200 stations. Its 100% self-service model eliminates in-person staff and convenience stores, allowing the company to cut operating costs and pass savings directly to consumers. Stations operate 24/7 and accept payment via mobile app, prepaid card, cash machine, and contactless.
Chile is Petroprix's second Latin American market after Panama, and the company sees the country's fuel sector as a structural opportunity similar to what it encountered in Europe a decade ago. "Chile is an oligopolised market," CEO Manuel Santiago said. The company's target is 50 stations across Chile, backed by a $40 million investment, with an eventual market share of between 5% and 10%.
At a global level, Petroprix is targeting revenues of around €1 billion by the close of 2025 and €1.4 billion by 2027, with a network of some 340 stations across multiple markets.
