About us …

24-hour flexibility – to ensure your operations run like clockwork.

For us, service means always being there – so that no one is left out high and dry. This has meant that we have been able to build business relations with both customers and suppliers that have lasted for decades, and are characterised by mutual trust. We are convinced that precisely this atmosphere is what makes us stand out. This coincides with a short decision-making processes which, as a family-run company, enable us to react quicker to ever-changing markets and conditions.

The company

From an oil mill to its very own refinery.
From a family-run company to state-of-the-art technology.

From founders Otto and Ludwig Sels all the way to the 4th generation of the family who currently leads the company, we have stood for quality and tradition. For us, this means always thinking one step ahead and learning from our own experience.
