Overview
LITASCO SA is a Swiss limited company that serves as the international marketing and trading arm of PJSC LUKOIL, a privately owned and publicly listed fully integrated Russian oil company. Founded in 2000 and headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, LITASCO describes itself as an international trading, shipping and marketing company, and it also operates refineries and a retail network in Europe. Its core business is the supply and trading of crude oil and petroleum products, supported by shipping, storage, refining and retail activities. The company operates through LITASCO Group, which comprises LITASCO SA and its subsidiaries in Europe and the United States. According to its own disclosures, the group conducts trading, refining, shipping and retail activities across Europe, Africa and the Americas.

LITASCO has implemented its own General Terms and Conditions (GT&Cs) for its trading operations, reflecting its role as a significant counterparty in oil markets.

Tender announcements are published in a unified tender base, with participation details provided in the invitation attached to each tender. As a member of the LUKOIL group, LITASCO is not separately listed; it is a subsidiary of PJSC LUKOIL. Its identity is closely tied to LUKOIL's international downstream and trading footprint, and its Geneva base places it within Switzerland's commodity trading hub.
