PVG Liquids

What PVG Liquids does

PVG Liquids is a Belgian contract manufacturer and distributor of heating fuels and chemical liquids, operating a 12,000 m² state-of-the-art filling and distribution center in Ghent (North Sea Port), adjacent to the Gadot tank terminal. Founded in 1999 as a subsidiary of the Netherlands-based PVG Group, the company runs six filling lines with an annual capacity exceeding 200 million litres, producing 20-litre PET jerricans (four automated lines), consumer packaging from 1 to 20 litres, and industrial drums/IBCs from 60 to 1,000 litres (two flexible lines). The facility includes 11 storage tanks of 660 m³ total capacity and a 10,000-pallet warehouse. Its proprietary stackable PET jerrycan design has eliminated the equivalent of 600 trucks per year and reduced plastic usage by over 15 million kilograms since 2008.

The company generates revenue through fee-based filling and contract manufacturing services, operating both the Qlima house brand (well-known in Southern European heating-fuel markets) and private-label filling for third-party customers across lubricants, ethanol, AdBlue, white spirit, and other chemical liquids. Approximately 70% of output is exported, primarily to France, Italy, Spain, and increasingly Scandinavia, with a sales-led direct B2B distribution model. The company holds ISO 9001 certification and the Solar Impulse Foundation's Efficient Solution Label (2021), and is positioned as a low-cost, sustainability-positioned European toll-filler for liquid products.
