Our Mission

Securing stability.
Driving change.

With 40 years of experience, SELECT covers the physical value chain - from refining and logistics to financing and risk management. Since 2021, we've expanded our expertise into new energy solutions to support the transition.

Our Core Areas

Energy.
Everywhere.

Specialised desks across the physical chain - connected by shared trading data, risk framework and a four-decade track record of physical delivery.

  • Trading

    Physical and paper trading across crude, gas, distillates and the new molecules - moving volumes and balancing risk for industrial counterparties around the world.

  • Wholesale

    Bulk supply to refineries, terminals and large distributors. Tailor-made logistics across sea, rail, road and pipeline to keep regional markets in balance.

  • Retail

    Last-mile distribution to industrial customers, fuel stations and end users in the markets we know best - from Northern Germany to West Africa.

Our values

From Hamburg
to the world.

Hamburg is known for internationality, entrepreneurial spirit, professionalism and hard work. As a family business embedded in the global energy markets, we keep these values alive – in every business, partnership and in our offices.
