WE´VE COME A LONG WAY

GEFO was founded in 1961, in the northern German port city of Hamburg. Written out in full, the name GEFO translates as Company for Oil Transport Ltd*, which shows just how far we have grown since the 60s. What began as an exclusively inland operation barging oil on the Rhine is now a thriving international network specialising in chemical liquids, LPG´s, liquid gases, mineral oil and worldwide bunker trading.
