 KPI Bridge Oil, a global trader and broker in marine fuels, marine lubricants and risk management products, has announced that KTB will become a member of the KPI Bridge Oil Group as of June 1, 2016.

 
The merger comes a year after the group’s acquisition of Denmark based Trumf Bunker which recently became a fully fledged physical supplier and the establishment of a new office in Greece in December.
 
Minah Kim, Managing Director of KPI Bridge Oil South Korea said, “We are extremely pleased to join the KPI Bridge Oil group. Our experienced and professional team will benefit immensely from the increased capabilities and opportunities that comes with joining a strong global organization which has an extensive network of partners around the world and is renowned for its efficient and people focused organization.”
 
Carsten Ladekjaer, CEO of KPI Bridge Oil Group, commented, “The KPI Bridge Oil brand enjoys a sound reputation worldwide for its solid performance and excellent track record in servicing some of the world’s finest shipping companies for more than 45 years. We are honored to welcome the former KTB team into our group. This merger will further strengthen the KPI Bridge Oil brand in a consolidating market and it will position us even stronger to meet today’s demands of the highest level of service from financially secure and safe counterparts.”
