BP in Italy
Successful and growing businesses underpin our presence in Italy. Fulfilling the needs to exceed the expectations of our customers is our day-to-day job
What we do
BP's history in Italy dates back to 1962. Castrol, acquired by BP in the year 2000, has been present in Italy from 1955.
BP's Italian businesses can be split into four main groups:
- Lubricants
- Gas and power marketing
- Alternative Energy
- Marketing
Our lubricants business manufactures, sells and markets products and services for the automotive, industrial and marine industries, through the Castrol brand. We also market gas from BP's various exploration and production activities in North Africa and Europe, through our gas and power marketing business.
BP Solar in Italy, part of BP's Alternative Energy business, involves the sale of photovoltaic solar panels (via distributors) and technical support to large projects.
Air BP sells aviation fuels in the country.
Our people and partners
In Italy, BP employs around 200 people. In addition, we have a well-established network of about 100 sales people to cover the entire market, as well as strategic distributors that represent our business partners.

Community investment
On the local level, we are constantly involved in activities to support the communities we are working in. Our aim is to bring a visible contribution with business-related and educational projects to help communities.
We have developed good relationships with a number of environmental and social country-wide Non Government Organisations (NGOs), which give an important external input to our business operations.
