Spain: Approved acquisition makes DISA fourth biggest operator
The Spanish National Commission for Market and Competition (CNMC) has approved DISA’s acquisition of 26 gas stations owned by Group GESA.
With the acquisition DISA, the leading independent fuel retailer in Spain, climbs to fourth place in terms of market share and closes the gap with third-placed BP. The positive reports from CNMC allows DISA to increase its number of sites in the Spanish Peninsula by twenty-six.
Canary Islands-based DISA has a fuelling network of almost 600 gas stations spread across the Spanish territory – a similar number to that of BP.
The 286 workers from the acquired gas stations are included in the operation between DISA and GESA and will now form part for the DISA work force.
As a licensee of the Shell brand in Spain, DISA will operate the 26 new gas stations under the Shell flagship. The rebranding of the sites will begin immediately as agreed with Spain’s CNMC.
