People

Kolmar has a flat organizational structure to allow the company to be nimble and adapt quickly to the market.

Our Employees

People make
the difference.

Kolmar’s founders are still actively involved in the business and their passion helps foster a culture of creativity to serve our partners’ needs.

Kolmar employees are organized by product specialisms so they have a deep understanding of their market and can add value to our partners’ operations.

Composition of Staff

A global team,
close at hand.

This allows for an efficient use of manpower, direct access to local requirements, operations and expertise, as well as shortest possible communication lines and efficient decision-making on a 24/7 yearlong basis.

We have an open mind with regard to our human resource policy. We employ more than 50 nationalities worldwide, a 50/50 balance between male and female employees, and a balanced distribution across age groups 20 – 70, blending the drive and energy of the young with the knowledge and experience of the senior staff. Because of long-term employment of most of our personnel, we can now count on a total of 2,000 employee years of knowledge and experience on a daily basis and still have a relatively low number of personnel.

Our Business Partners

Built for
partnership.

We have an open and productive working relationship with our suppliers, customers, processors, financial and regulatory institutions, shipowners, brokers, lawyers, consultants, trade associations, local authorities and government departments.

Our understanding of how to operate a business in a responsible and professional manner is the basis for long-term relationships and for working together to successfully reach a common goal.
