In a move set to reshape the fuel additives supply chian, Brenntag has announced a new partnership with BASF to distribute Keropur fuel performance additive packages across Europe and select international markets.

 

The agreement positions Brenntag—already a dominant force in chemicals and ingredients distribution—to significantly widen access to BASF’s Keropur-branded additives, used in both gasoline and diesel. The products are targeted at fuel retailers, terminal operators, and wholesale suppliers seeking to boost fuel quality and performance.

 

Keropur additives are designed to deliver measurable gains in engine efficiency and longevity. By improving deposit control, conductivity, and cetane number—while also offering anti-foam and anti-corrosion benefits—the additives help fuels exceed regulatory standards. 

 

The result: smoother engine performance, enhanced power output, reduced maintenance demands, and lower emissions.

 

Industry analysts see the partnership as a strategic alignment of scale and specialization. Brenntag brings extensive expertise in refinery additives, along with a powerful supply chain and broad market reach. BASF contributes advanced product innovation, including tailored solutions that enable fuel branding and differentiation.

 

Together, the companies aim to unlock new growth opportunities and accelerate the adoption of high-performance fuel solutions across the sector.

 

Jeroen Bakker, President Focused Industries and Services Brenntag Essentials EMEA, states: “This partnership represents an important step in expanding the reach of our innovative fuel additive portfolio. Brenntag's capabilities and customer focus make us the right collaboration partner for BASF to expand the availability of fuel additive solutions across Europe. We very much look forward to serving our and the BASF customers to our very best.”

 

Roland Merten, Head of Sales Management EMEA, Fuel Additives, BASF: “This partnership represents a meaningful step in expanding the reach of our innovative fuel additive portfolio. Brenntag's capabilities and customer focus make them an outstanding partner as we expand the availability of our fuel additive solutions worldwide.”
