Hoyer signs new contract with oil giant Total

Bulk logistics specialist Hoyer has taken over the task of delivering to more than 200 Total service stations in west and north Germany.

Under the terms of the new contract, Hoyer will provide fuel scheduling and stock management services.

It builds on the Hoyer’s services for Total in Bremen, the Ruhr district and Emsland region, where it has been delivering since February.

Total operates Germany’s third biggest service station network, with nearly 1,200 stations. Hoyer is investing more than €3m in its own truck equipment in the context of Total’s logistics tender.

Stefan Küfner, central logistics director for Total Deutschland, said: “We are very satisfied with the smooth takeover of the supply by Hoyer, and expect to achieve a further increase in our safety standard in the logistics chain.”

Volker Schmitz, managing director of the Hoyer Mineralöl-Logistik, said: “The collaboration strengthens our market position as a service station supplier and partner for the petroleum industry, and also creates 45 new jobs.”
