The Saras Group operates in the energy sector and is one of the leading independent oil refiners in Europe. The Sarroch refinery, on the coast south-west of Cagliari, is one of the biggest in the Mediterranean in terms of production capacity (15 million tonnes per year, equal to 300,000 barrels per day) and one of the most advanced plants in terms of complexity (11.7 on the Nelson Index

Located in the middle of the Mediterranean, it is a reference model in terms of efficiency and environmental sustainability, due to its technological know-how, expertise and human resources acquired over fifty years of activity. Saras has adopted a business model based on the integration of its supply chain through close coordination between refinery operations and commercial activities. This also includes the subsidiary Saras Trading SA, which deals with acquiring crude and other raw materials for the Group’s refinery, selling its refined products, and also performing trading activities.
