Our philosophy


Satisfied customers are our goal, while competent and dedicated employees are our most valuable asset.  Like our parent company Marquard & Bahls, we conduct our business in keeping with our philosophy of being independent, sound and individual.

Independent
As a privately owned business we are committed to our stockholders, staff and business partners, yet are independent of other enterprises and institutions. 

Sound
We have gained the trust of our customers with our effectiveness and reliability.  Furthermore, we are known in the marketplace to be a strong, reliable and financially sound partner.   

Individual
Thanks to our independence, including the independence from capital markets, we can act freely and irrespectively of analyst opinions and short term market trends. This allows us to always take the direction that we ourselves consider best for the long term. 

Our overriding principle is to adhere to our philosophy in every way when conducting business.  This is because we take our responsibility towards our environment and the society in which we live and work, very seriously.
