About · Petrum B.V. · Wholesale Energy Marketing

Founded 1991

What an independent global marketer does.

Petrum B.V. is a leading wholesale supplier of petroleum, refined petroleum products, and compressed liquid gases, delivering world-class energy solutions that empower industries, businesses, and economies. Since our establishment in 1991, we have built more than three decades of expertise, earning the trust of clients through an unwavering commitment to excellence, innovation, quality, and operational integrity.

Headquartered at Goirkekanaaldijk 221, 5048 AA, Tilburg, Netherlands, Petrum B.V. leverages a robust supply network, advanced logistics capabilities, and deep industry knowledge to ensure the seamless, secure, and efficient delivery of liquid and gaseous fuels across Europe and international markets. Our customer-centric approach, uncompromising quality standards, and reliable supply chain enable us to consistently exceed expectations while adapting to the evolving demands of the global energy sector.

At Petrum B.V., we do more than supply energy—we build enduring partnerships by delivering dependable fuel solutions that drive operational success, sustainable growth, and long-term value for our customers.

What we stand for

Four core values guide everything we do.

Excellence

Rigorous standards applied to every grade, document, and delivery—measured, audited, and improved without pause.

Integrity

Transparent pricing, full product traceability, and contracts honored to the letter.

Sustainability

Certified environmental management and an expanding lower-carbon portfolio, built into daily operations.

Innovation

New products, smarter logistics, and digital tooling that keep customers ahead of a changing energy market.

Expertise and commitment

Knowledge earned shipment by shipment.

Trading through every market cycle since 1991 has given our desks something no manual can teach: judgement. Dedicated specialists for fuels, petrochemicals, lubricants, and compressed gases track pricing signals, regulatory shifts, and freight conditions daily, so the guidance you receive reflects the market as it is—not as it was last quarter.

That expertise is matched by commitment. Long-standing producer relationships and multi-source procurement keep allocations firm even when markets tighten.

01

Operational discipline

Specs, volumes, and timing delivered exactly as contracted—every shipment, every grade.

02

Shared planning

Multi-year agreements and joint demand forecasting with industrial offtakers, not transactional spot dealing.

03

Accountable people

A named commercial contact owns your account end to end, reachable across every major time zone.

Meeting diverse needs

One supplier, many industries.

No two customers buy energy the same way. A hospital needs medical gases to pharmacopeia standard; a fleet operator needs winter-grade diesel delivered overnight; a manufacturer needs solvent volumes timed to a production run. We structure supply around each reality—flexible volumes, tailored specifications, and delivery schedules aligned to your operations rather than our convenience.

From transport, marine, and aviation to manufacturing, agriculture, and healthcare, Petrum B.V. serves the sectors that keep economies moving—in bulk or blended, scheduled or on demand, wherever you operate.

Commitment to quality and sustainability

Held to a higher standard, today and tomorrow.

Every product we move is verified against its specification before it ships, backed by complete documentation and chain-of-custody records. Our quality and environmental management systems are independently certified to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001—and audited as living practices, not framed certificates.

Sustainability is approached the same way: as operational reality. Alongside conventional energy, we continue to broaden our lower-carbon offering, helping customers reduce emissions intensity without disrupting the supply their businesses depend on.
