In 1910 was installed a gasoline pump, the fuel supplier was Shell since 1925. From 1956 the wholesale trade was taken over the merchants' organization A&O, which later became firm Nah&Frisch. In the middle of the 1990s started the supply of the Austrian storage houses RWA. The restructuring in 1998 created the current form of the company.
