Unioil pushes further network expansion

Despite stiff competition, independent player Unioil Petroleum Philippines Inc. says there are “opportunities for expansion through new stations and products,” in the domestic retail market. “We hope to seize on the opportunity,” said General Manager Chito Medina-Cue Jr. Unioil recently embarked on a Php90 million (US$1.95 million) expansion plan that saw the construction of additional stations in Metropolitan Manila, as well as the upgrade of existing stations. Unioil currently has more than 40 stations and outlets in mainland Luzon island. (December 13, 2009)
