The PERN Group is the national and regional leader of oil logistics. PERN S.A., a parent company within the Capital Group, was created in 1959 to transport oil from the Soviet Union to Poland and East Germany. Since 1963, when the first batch of Soviet oil reached by pipelines into the tanks in Adamów, more mains were quickly built to transport crude oil and petroleum products. In 1999, the company was transformed into a joint-stock company of the State Treasury wholly owned by the State Treasury.
