About Lampogas

In 1954, in the Parma region of Italy, a new company named Lampogas was founded to address the country's growing demand for a modern energy source: Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG). The company began its journey by distributing and bottling LPG for both home and industrial use, establishing itself as a key player in Italy's post-war economic expansion. For decades, Lampogas steadily grew its presence, expanding throughout Northern and Central Italy. The business built a robust distribution network, eventually operating numerous storage depots to serve its expanding customer base. The playbook was simple: provide a reliable and essential energy product to a growing market. This strategy turned Lampogas into one of the main operators in the Italian LPG sector. A pivotal moment arrived in 2013, when the investment fund 4D Global Energy Investments acquired a majority stake, signaling a new phase of strategic reorganization for the company. This set the stage for the company’s most significant event. In November 2018, an agreement was reached for Lampogas to be acquired by a rival, the Autogas Group. The deal was made possible by a crucial €60 million capital injection from the investment holding company Italmobiliare. This acquisition created a dominant force in the Italian energy market, which today operates under the brand AGN Energia.
