The brand is owned by the Minardo Group, holding operating mainly in the petroleum industry. Its headquarters are in Modica, in the Free municipal consortium of Ragusa (Sicily).[1][2]

In 1969 Rosario Minardo began working at a distributor in Modica. The following year, the first plant was built in the Sant’Antonio district (in Modica) and the Giap brand was founded[3][4] (Gestione Impianti Autonomi Petroli or Autonomous Petrol Plants Management)[5] from Rosario himself,[3] brother of the senator Riccardo Minardo and father of Antonino Minardo, center-right politician[6][7] and president (in 2007) of the Consortium for the Sicilian Highways.[8] Giap distributors are present in Sicily (since 1970), Calabria, Campania, Lazio, Lombardy and Tuscany.[9]

Distribution

The company also markets LPG, fuels and lubricants for automotive, marine engines and agricultural vehicles.[3][4] Giap distributors are present in Sicily (since 1970), Calabria, Campania, Lazio, Lombardia and Tuscany.[4] In 2014 Giap was the Sicilian brand with the highest turnover in the oil sector.[10]
