Office move for OW Bunker Copenhagen


Danish firm relocates to larger premises, closer to customers.



OW Bunker, one of the world’s leading suppliers and traders of marine fuel, has today announced that OW Bunker Copenhagen has relocated to a new office in Hellerup, at the heart of Copenhagen’s shipping community.

OW Bunker Copenhagen is home to a 25-strong team including Global Trading, Global Sales, which incorporates OW Bunker’s Tender Department, and Risk Management.

Commenting on the office move, OW Bunker said: "Following a very successful period of sustained growth for OW Bunker Copenhagen, the new office will provide improved facilities, a bigger space to accommodate its expanding team and a far more central location that is close to the offices of many of OW Bunker’s Danish customers, who are also in Hellerup."

Götz Lehsten, Executive Vice President, Worldwide Trading at OW Bunker, said: “With the tremendous growth that we have experienced in recent times, we were keen to invest in a new office that would accommodate our team and allow us to offer the best possible service to all of our customers. However, this move is particularly exciting as our new office on Strandvejen is in the heart of Copenhagen’s shipping community, with many vessel owners and operators also based here, near Tuborg harbour in Hellerup.

"At OW Bunker, we invest a significant amount in building strong relationships with our customers. We are already well known in Copenhagen for our local supply capabilities in Danish waters, our global purchasing power and the fast, expert and professional service that we deliver to all of our customers. This office move will further strengthen our offer.”

The new address for OW Bunker Copenhagen is:

OW Bunker Copenhagen
Strandvejen 58
