What Schouten Energy does

Schouten Energy B.V. is a privately held, family-owned energy solutions provider headquartered in Alphen aan den Rijn, Netherlands, with roots dating to 1935 (some sources cite 1940). The company rebranded from Schouten Olie to Schouten Energy in 2021 to reflect its expansion beyond traditional fuels into sustainable energy. It serves business customers across the Dutch provinces of South Holland, North Holland, and Utrecht, spanning transport, agriculture, construction, industrial, landbouwmechanisatie, government, automotive, wholesale/retail, and tank station verticals, with selected cross-border reach into Belgium and Germany via the Energypas card network.

The company's product portfolio is organized around three pillars: (1) premium and sustainable fuels, anchored by the proprietary TRAXX brand (TRAXX Diesel with CLEAN4FORCE cleaning-molecule technology, TRAXX HVO100 at 89% CO2 reduction, and TRAXX HVOmix transition blend); (2) lubricants distributed under partnerships with Castrol, BP, and Petronas; and (3) energy transition solutions including electric charging infrastructure, hydrogen offerings, on-site tank installations (mobile IBCs, above-ground and underground tanks), and the Schouten Energypas fuel/charging card with acceptance at 700+ locations. Fleet management (Wagenpark beheer) provides recurring administration and reporting services for company vehicle fleets.

Commercially, Schouten Energy operates a sales-led B2B model with dedicated regional account managers, selling predominantly on transaction-based revenue streams (fuel and lubricant sales) supplemented by professional services revenue from tank installations and recurring subscription revenue from fleet management. The company holds ISO 9001 and VCA certifications (SGS) and a Lean and Green sustainability award, and maintains a TRAXX Diesel customer base of 12,000+ in the Netherlands. No public revenue, funding, or valuation disclosures are available.
