OKTA was founded in 1978 and is a refinery in the Balkan area. OKTA is part of one of the biggest groups for the refining, distribution, and trade of crude oil, oil derivatives and petrochemicals – the Hellenic Petroleum group.

The project was partly financed by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development.[2]
