Bomin Strengthens Regional Hub Structure

The Bomin Group, a leading global physical supplier and trader of marine fuels, today announced the establishment of four regional hubs to support its worldwide operations, in line with its strategy.

The regional hubs are located in Hamburg, Houston, Dubai and Singapore. They support the company’s offices and operations across Europe, the Americas, Middle East & Africa and Asia. The hubs will ensure global alignment, highest service quality and cost-effective fuel supply solutions in line with customer needs.

These measures safeguard the implementation of Bomin’s strategy for delivering long-term and sustainable growth for the business.

It allows us to better support our customers by providing universal quality and service standards in every physical supply and trading operation worldwide.
