Prague, 26 February 2008 – The two companies, which so far have been operating from offices located in different places in Prague (Unipetrol in the centre, while Benzina was based in Holešovice), will move together to share offices, in the Gemini building in Pankrác, where they will occupy a combination of closed offices and open plan space.
Gemini is a new building in one of the most dynamic locations in Prague, near the Pankrác metro station on Line C. The building is easily accessible by public transport and by car; moreover, a wide range of services are available in the immediate vicinity. Moving will take place in two stages: first, Unipetrol will move at the end of February and the beginning of March, and Benzina will follow suit one month later.
“The purpose of the move is to create a shared and pleasant working environment in modern, representative offices, to the satisfaction of the employees, customers and trade partners,” says François Vleugels, Unipetrol Chairman and CEO.
The Gemini complex is composed of two buildings standing opposite one another, each with a distinctive eight-storey entrance “tower”. The two towers form the entrance gate from Na Pankráci Street to the complex of buildings. Unipetrol and Benzina now have offices on the fourth floor of Building A (the northern wing). The building has eight floors. Unipetrol and Benzina will share the reception desk, and several meeting rooms will be available to them.
From March Unipetrol will have new mailing address:
