What Staack Pooltankstellen GmbH does

Staack Pooltankstellen GmbH is a Hamburg-headquartered B2B fleet fuel and services provider, founded in 1919 and operating as a subsidiary of Mabanaft Group (formerly Marquard & Bahls) since 2001. The company is one of the largest partners of the tankpool24 alliance, granting its commercial fleet customers access to over 770 proprietary automated truck fueling stations in Germany and nearly 1,400 additional stations across 17 European countries via tankpool24 International. The core product is the tankpool24 fuel card, which supports digital driver card authorization using the official tachograph card (a mechanism specifically approved by the Bundesamt für Güterverkehr), NFC vehicle cards, and the tankpool24-connect mobile app.

The product and service stack spans physical fuel products (LKW-Diesel, HVO100, LNG, LPG, AdBlue, hydrogen, motor oil) and a broad digital and ancillary services layer. Digital services include the Kundenportal (online account and card management), Verbrauchsanalyse (14-day itemized consumption reporting), and Daten-Management (standardized data feeds for fleet administration). Ancillary services include the tankpool24 Mautbox (single-device toll management covering 15+ European toll areas including Germany's TollCollect), VAT refund across all 27 EU countries plus Switzerland and Norway (99% success rate), mineral oil tax refund in France, Italy, Slovenia, Spain, and Belgium, Pannendienst 24/7 breakdown assistance (over 90% on-site resolution), Driver Assistance and Abschlepp-Pakete packages, Park Your Truck parking reservation, and the Vorteilswelt loyalty program.

Revenue is generated primarily through transaction-based fuel margins on fleet card sales, with commission-based fees on tax refunds, toll management fees, and service package revenue. The go-to-market is sales-led through regional Gebietsleiter (field sales representatives) covering specific postal code territories in Germany. Operations are supported across five locations: Hamburg (headquarters, shared with sister company Oil-tanking), Hagen, Brakel, Hiddenhausen, and Mülheim an der Ruhr, the latter four consolidated into Staack during 2024–2025 as part of the Mabanaft Group's roll-up of regional fuel station companies. The company serves primarily commercial fleet operators (Speditionen), with secondary segments including professional drivers, owner-operators, private refueling customers, and landowners participating in site development partnerships.

Revenue model

1. Fuel sales via tank cards: Revenue generated from the sale of fuel (diesel, HVO100, LNG, gasoline, AdBlue, motor oil, LPG) to commercial fleet customers and private customers through automated fueling stations. Customers use tankpool24 fuel cards (including digital driver cards and NFC vehicle cards) to authorize transactions at company-owned and partner network stations. The company earns margin on the fuel sold, with pricing including energy tax, customs, petroleum stockholding contribution, CO2 levy, and GHG quota but excluding VAT.
2. VAT refund services: Fees charged for processing and recovering foreign VAT paid on tolls across EU countries, Switzerland, and Norway. Two options: normal refund (no cost until refund received, 3–12 month processing) and immediate refund (payout within 10 days of complete documentation). Commission is calculated only on successfully refunded amounts.
3. Mineral oil tax refunds: Fees for recovering fuel taxes in France, Italy, Slovenia, Spain, and Belgium. Commission is calculated only for refunded amounts. Teams handle all communication with customs authorities in local languages.
4. Toll management services: Revenue from managing and paying tolls on behalf of fleet operators across European toll networks. The company collects payments from customers and remits to toll operators, earning margin on the transactions. Also includes sale/rental of the tankpool24 Mautbox hardware.
5. Driver Assistance packages: Fees for breakdown assistance, driver medical emergency support, and towing packages. Covers costs up to EUR 350 per case (driver assistance) and up to EUR 2,000 per year for towing to the nearest workshop. Revenue recognized as one-time or recurring service fees per valid package.
6. Real estate and station development: Revenue from developing and operating fueling station sites. The company seeks land (1,500–30,000 m²) and existing auto courts for conversion into truck automated fueling stations, generating income from long-term site partnerships and station operations.

Direct peers

• DKV Mobility: One of Europe's largest fleet fuel card and mobility service providers, offering fuel cards, toll, VAT recovery and breakdown services across 50+ countries. Directly competes with Staack/tankpool24 for German and pan-European Speditionen contracts with a similar integrated service model.
• UTA (Union Tank Eckstein): German-headquartered fleet fuel card and toll provider owned by Edenred, with comparable UTA One toll box, fuel acceptance network across Europe and VAT/refund services. Closest direct peer to Staack in the German commercial fleet segment.
• LogPay (LogPay Financial Services): German fleet payment services provider offering fuel cards, toll settlement and mobility billing for commercial vehicle operators. Competes directly with Staack in the German Speditionen segment.
• Hoyer GmbH: German fuel logistics and Hoyer Card fleet-card operator with extensive cardlock and station network across Germany and Europe. Comparable B2B fuel card and refuelling infrastructure proposition targeting commercial fleets.
• AS 24 (TotalEnergies): TotalEnergies-owned truck stop network and fleet fuel card with dense European coverage, comparable automated HGV station footprint and toll services. Competes head-to-head with tankpool24 partners for long-haul fleets.

Regional players
