Together with our customers, suppliers, and business partners, we are constantly developing – with the goal of being even better tomorrow than we are today.

In addition to wholesale of heating and motor fuels, as well as the operation of petrol stations and tank farms, we are expanding our range of services for end consumers. This includes e-mobility, photovoltaics, and sustainable heating solutions such as pellets – for a secure and future-proof energy supply.

Chemical Solutions

Our chemical business area offers customized formulations for various applications such as metal processing, agriculture, cleaning agents, paints, and varnishes. Through the use of innovative recycling solutions and renewable raw materials, resource-conserving and environmentally friendly solutions are created for industry customers.

We view sustainability as an opportunity to develop innovative and future-proof business models.
