We began our activity

in 1988 with door to door

lubricant distribution.

Grupo Martins, titled this way, is a group of 5 companies each one in diversified business areas, it is a family­ run business group.

In April 12, 1988, the first enterprise was formed – Martins & Couto, Lda. – beginning its activity with door to door lubricant distribution.

Until 1992, Grupo Martins’ main investments were directed to the gradual enlargement of the storage capacity and the extension of the distribution fleet.

This growth made the company search for a new space, inaugurated in August 1995. In that same year, the company extended its business to the commercialization of regular and agricultural fuels of the BP brand.


Distromazoote – Distribuição
de Combustíveis, Lda.
