Kaiser Söhne Mineralöle GmbH & Co. KG has been part of the Petronord Group since mid-2002. Over the course of its history, the company has evolved from a traditional mineral oil trader into a lubricant specialist for industrial production processes. Today, with a wide range of products, more than 2 million litres of storage capacity and its own fleet of vehicles, Kaiser Söhne offers its customers a comprehensive lubricant management service.
With effect from 1 February 2024, the shareholders of Kaiser Söhne have decided to jointly sell the company to Adolf ROTH GmbH & Co. KG in Gießen as part of a share deal.
“We would like to thank all employees at Kaiser Söhne Mineralöle for their consistently hard work and high level of commitment,” says Lennard Schneider, Head of Energy Distribution at Mabanaft and Managing Director of Petronord GmbH & Co. KG. “In our view, ROTH Energie is an innovative, sound energy provider which, as the new owner, will significantly strengthen its lubricants business and position it for the future with the help of Kaiser Söhne’s expert team.”
The Energy Distribution division is a strategically important area for the Mabanaft Group; the focus is on expanding the end-customer business, particularly in sectors that are difficult to electrify, by utilising the Group’s own core competencies in the procurement, storage, handling and distribution of liquid fuels, and the Group is constantly exploring new opportunities for growth and reinvestment.
The Mabanaft Group is a leading independent and integrated energy company that offers its customers innovative energy solutions in the transport, heating, industrial and agricultural sectors. The company is active in the import, distribution and marketing of petroleum products, natural gas liquids, chemicals and biofuels, and supports its customers in the transition to cleaner fuels by offering alternative long-term solutions.
