Business Areas
Marquard & Bahls is organized as a holding company[7][4][8] and operates through its subsidiaries in several business areas:
- Mabanaft is the trading division of Marquard & Bahls. Its business includes regional trading and wholesaling of petroleum products. The company also operates in the bunkering, service-station and heating oil retail businesses, as well as trading in liquid gas and biofuels. Its annual volume of sales is approximately 24.8 million tons (as at: December 2016).[9][10][11]
- Oiltanking is the second-largest independent tank storage provider for petroleum products, chemicals and gases worldwide.[12] The company owns and operates 79 terminals in 24 countries with a total capacity of 21 million cubic meters (as at: June 2017).[13] Its EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) division, part of the Indian subsidiary IOT Infrastructure & Energy Services, which plans, procures and builds tank terminals and other large-scale facilities, is also part of the portfolio.[14]
- Skytanking provides a full range of aviation fuelling services.[15] The company services around 1.4 million aircraft a year, with annual throughput exceeding 15 billion cubic metres of jet fuel (as at: June 2017).[16] Besides into-plane fuelling, its range of services also covers the operation of aviation fuel storage and hydrant systems, as well as the planning, financing and construction of these facilities.[17] Its customers include airlines, airports, and oil companies.[18][11] Skytanking is represented at 69 airports in 13 countries in Europe, Asia and Africa (as at: June 2017).[16]
- United Bulk Terminals is active in the storage and handling of dry bulk products. While Davant, near New Orleans, is one of the largest coal and petcoke export terminals in the United States, at the Corpus Christi, Texas site petcoke and sulfur are transshipped for refineries in a joint venture with Dupré Logistics. In 2016, United Bulk Terminals had a total storage capacity of 4 million tons and realized total throughput of around 9 million tons.[19]
In addition to these business areas, Marquard & Bahls also has operations in the renewable energies, carbon trading, fuel analysis, and gas supply sectors.[2]
Management and Governance
Since the beginning of 2011, Christian Flach has served as CEO of the company, which is not listed on the stock exchange.[20][21] Hellmuth Weisser was Chairman of the supervisory board from 2003 to February 2017. His successor is Daniel Weisser.[22]
History
Theodor Weisser established the business in 1947 by purchasing Marquard & Bahls, a company that had traded in cereals and lubricants since its founding in 1913. At the time of the takeover, the company existed only as a shell.[23] Theodor Weisser began trading in heating oil and lubricants, and gradually expanded the business activities in the following years. In the mid-1950s, the company also entered the tank storage business,[24] and in the 1960s focused particularly on expanding its activities abroad. Its trading subsidiary Mabanaft played an important role in developing the spot market in Rotterdam.[25]
In 1972, the tank terminals owned by Marquard & Bahls were grouped into its Oiltanking subsidiary; this marked the beginning of the establishment of an independent provider of tank storage services. In the 1990s, a new service-station organization[26][7] was established,[27] which now does business under the OIL! brand. Beyond this, the company had been active in the sale of heating oil to end-consumers since the 1980s; these activities were bundled under the Petronord umbrella in 1996.[28] In 1999, Marquard & Bahls entered the aviation fuelling business,[29] and continually expanded this line of business, which operates as Skytanking, in the following years. Since 2002, Marquard & Bahls has also been active in the field of renewable energies. In addition to the biofuels trade, which is part of Mabanaft, this also includes biogas.[30] The Mabagas subsidiary has been realizing biogas projects based on organic waste since the end of 2008.[31][32]
In 2008 and 2011, Marquard & Bahls acquired shares in Newsco companies through Oiltanking. In 2014, Marquard & Bahls achieved a majority shareholding in Newsco by acquiring further stakes.[33] In March 2017, the Group sold all of its shares in Newsco International Energy Services.[34] In May 2012, Oiltanking acquired United Bulk Terminals in the US.[35] This division has been directly allocated to Marquard & Bahls since the end of 2014.[36][11]
