We make it our business to know the market. With more than 20 offices strategically positioned around the world, staffed with local personnel, we are open for business 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Risk Management

Kolmar has a conservative approach to risk management. We have developed integrated reporting and administrative systems to assist the identification, assessment and control of risks.

Project Participation

Our philosophy of working towards mutual success leads us to enter into mid- and long-term projects with our business partners. Our global experience and knowledge from working across the full range of Petrochemical and Petroleum products as well as Renewable Fuels make us a natural fit for participating and investing in a variety of production, transportation or storage projects.
