Oiltanking

Between the oil fields of the world and the users of derivative products, independent terminal networks like Oiltanking perform vital connecting services. Independent storage terminals are those which are not owned by the clients they serve and do not own any of the products they handle. Over the last three decades, Oiltanking has become the world’s second largest company in this competitive field. Its clients include private and state oil companies, refiners, petrochemical companies, and traders in petroleum products and chemicals. To customers, Oiltanking serves as a trust-worthy custodian of valuable liquids. To business partners, the company offers the proven ability to manage terminals profitably. In developing capital-intensive terminal facilities alone or together with substantial local business partners, the financial strength of parent company Marquard & Bahls AG is a valuable resource.

Who are we and how do we conduct our business? Whether you are a prospective customer or partner, we want you to know where we are going.
We are charting our future based upon the strengths that have helped Oiltanking earn its present position in the industry.
Uncommon customer service will be maintained. New markets will be approached vigorously. Substantial financial resources will be applied to upgrading terminals in support of our clients needs. And, we will build upon Oiltanking’s uniquely decentralized management structure.

Doing the common uncommonly well
Independent third party storage may seem a basic, although capital intensive, business. But when you consider the evolving needs of our customers, diversity is an important asset. We are taking over storage infrastructure, adding value with down-stream processing services, and offering specialized engineering services. More and more, we are being called upon for creative logistic solutions, rather than just storage capacity.

Joint Venture Development
A controlled international expansion strategy includes individual terminal network development through acquisitions and by joint-ventures with local private companies, consortiums and government entities.
