Marquard & Bahls

Independent, sound, individual. These are the qualities that characterize more than 50 years of successful operation in the international oil business by the Marquard & Bahls Group. Today, our Mabanaft subsidiary is the largest independent petroleumproducts trader in Northwestern Europe, while Oiltanking is the world’s second-largest commercial operator of tank terminals for petroleum products, petrochemicals, gases, and other liquids. Beyond that, we continue successful operations in service stations, heating-oil deliveries to end users, energy-services contracting, aviation re-fuelling, bunker supplies, renewable energy and petroleum analysis. As a privately held, joint-stock company, we are pursuing a carefully controlled, long-term growth course. A sound financial basis and flat organizational structure, coupled with decision-making authority delegated to the individual operating sites, has allowed us to respond quickly and flexibly to market requirements and thereby satisfy our customers’ needs. Individual thinking, commitment to cooperation and enthusiasm for their work unite the people at Marquard & Bahls.
