SHV HOLDINGS

SHV originated in 1896 in the Netherlands from a merger between a number of large coal trading companies, some of which had been active since the 18th century. After the decline of coal as the primary source of energy, halfway through the twentieth century, SHV moved into other business areas. SHV has established a global presence in a wide range of activities. These include LPG distribution, consumer goods distribution, technical installation and technical equipment trading.
