Oszkár Világi, the longest-serving CEO of Slovnaft, is stepping down from the management of the company. Gabriel Szabó is becoming the new CEO and Chairman of the Board of Slovnaft.

Oszkár Világi played a key role in MOL Group's entry into Slovnaft and the subsequent integration of the two companies. In 2006, he became CEO and, three years later, Chairman of the Board of Directors. Under his leadership, Slovnaft weathered the global financial crisis, the COVID-19 pandemic and the impacts of the war in Ukraine. The company also implemented the largest investment programme in its history, worth almost two billion euros, modernised the Adria oil pipeline, commissioned the key LDPE4 petrochemical unit and transformed its filling station network with the Fresh Corner concept. It also strengthened its position in the region and expanded its activities into Czechia and Poland.
