Responding to the developing needs of our customers has been central to this success and we felt it was important to ensure that we had a local liaison office dedicated to meeting their requirements.

“Through our local office we are able to work more closely with our customers in the region. We can ensure that they can have access to quality products and services, and a complete bunker solution that is right for their business needs.”
