TotalErg S.p.A. was an Italian enterprise specializing in the refining and marketing of petroleum products. It operated as a joint venture, with Total SA holding a 49% stake and Erg S.p.A. owning 51%.
Established in 2010, TotalErg unified the service stations previously managed by Total and Erg under one brand name. In 2018, Gruppo API acquired the company and subsequently rebranded its operations as API-IP.
The firm’s offerings encompassed fuels and lubricants distributed throughout Italy via its extensive network of service outlets. Additionally, TotalErg controlled subsidiaries such as Totalgaz Italia and the Rome Refinery, which played key roles in its integrated supply and distribution framework.
History
The company was created on 1 October 2010 through the merger of Total Italia and Erg Petroli. Its activities spanned five sectors: Refining, Supply and Logistics, Net, Wholesale, and Speciality. With a distribution network of approximately 2,600 outlets, annual fuel sales surpassing 3 billion liters, and capturing an 11% share of the market, TotalErg was a prominent entity within the industry. In the Wholesale division, it supplied over 1.5 million tonnes of fuels—including diesel, fuel oils, and gasoline—for industrial, civil, and agricultural applications, serving both retailers and end consumers through its subsidiary Eridis.
Within the Speciality segment, TotalErg offered bitumen and modified bitumen products.
On 10 January 2018, Gruppo API acquired TotalErg, excluding the Special Fluids division, which was taken over by the newly established Total Italia (2018 company), and the subsidiary Totalgaz Italia, which was sold to UGI Corporation and renamed UniverGas Italia. The TotalErg service stations were gradually rebranded under the IP Gruppo API identity.
By 2019, TotalErg had been fully integrated into Gruppo API.
