Oiltanking is not the owner of the goods stored, but merely provides its services in the field of tank storage logistics. Its clients include private and state oil companies, refiners, petrochemical companies, and traders in petroleum products and chemicals.

Often it develops and operate its business with reputable local, private and state-owned companies, whereby Oiltanking acts as operating partner in the joint venture. In developing capital-intensive terminal facilities alone – or with substantial local business partners – the financial strength of parent company Marquard & Bahls AG is a valuable resource.

To further improve its shareholders value it continues to employ a strategy of controlled growth of its tank terminal-based service network through acquisitions, new buildings and upgrading of existing facilities.

Oiltanking has a strong customer orientation and provides tailor-made infrastructure. Its focus is on safe, efficient and reliable services in constructing and operating its facilities.

Besides tank storage, Oiltanking is active in the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) of tank terminals, pipelines, refineries and power plants. The Indian subsidiary IOT Infrastructure & Energy Services is a leading EPC company in India, and also active in other parts of Asia. Oiltanking’s global experience is incorporated into the design, ensuring that the synergies between Oiltanking and IOT are effectively leveraged
