Overview
Gunvor moves physical energy, metals, and bulk materials from where they are produced to where they are needed most. The company operates by sourcing these commodities and using its own network of refineries, pipelines, and storage terminals to manage the logistics of the global supply chain. Unlike many competitors that focus solely on trading, Gunvor invests heavily in industrial infrastructure and upstream assets to gain direct control over the movement and processing of goods. Its goal is to create sustainable value for customers by providing efficient and safe transport solutions for essential global resources.
