What Mabanaft Deutschland GmbH & Co. KG does

MB Energy (legally MB Energy Holding GmbH & Co. KG, formerly Mabanaft Deutschland GmbH & Co. KG) is an integrated energy company headquartered in Hamburg, Germany, founded in 1947 and rebranded from Mabanaft to MB Energy in 2025. The company operates an end-to-end value chain spanning the import, storage, and distribution of conventional and renewable energy products, with 1,800+ employees active across more than 10 countries in Europe, the USA, and Singapore, supported by 400+ truck stops and 80+ offices worldwide. Its product portfolio covers heating oil, wood pellets, firewood, LPG and bottled gas for residential heating; EN 590 diesel, HVO renewable diesel, gasoline, marine and aviation fuels (including SAF and e-fuels) for transport; lubricants, AdBlue, and bitumen for industry; and a New Energy line addressing hydrogen, ammonia, and synthetic e-fuels for the energy transition. The company is privately held under a GmbH & Co. KG partnership structure, with no public ticker or disclosed ownership, and is led by CEO Jonathan Perkins.

MB Energy serves both business and consumer customers through a hybrid go-to-market: enterprise field sales teams handle B2B accounts across industrial, construction, agricultural, aviation, shipping, logistics, public-sector, and SME segments, while a B2C online ordering platform sells heating oil and pellets directly to private households. Revenue is generated from one-time product sales of fuels and specialty chemicals, transaction-based distribution through the truck stop network, and managed storage and logistics services; pricing is market-based and pay-as-you-go for consumer products, with no publicly disclosed tiers. A wholly-owned sub-brand, OilFox, sells a smart IoT device for real-time heating-oil tank monitoring, layered on top of the consumer heating-oil business. The proprietary technology base is centered on integrated physical supply-chain infrastructure — import terminals, storage tanks, and a multi-country distribution network — rather than on software platforms, with no disclosed AI/ML, API, or SDK capabilities.
