SHV today marks its 130th anniversary, celebrating more than a century of entrepreneurship, adaptability and long‑term value creation as a family‑owned company.

Founded in 1896, SHV has continuously evolved alongside changing markets and societal needs.

Today, SHV is active in energy distribution, cash‑and‑carry wholesale, heavy lifting and transport activities, animal nutrition and aquafeed, private equity, testing, inspection and certification (TIC), and the exploration, development and production of oil and gas.

These activities are carried out through its seven companies: SHV Energy, Makro, Mammoet, Nutreco, NPM, Kiwa and ONE‑Dyas.

Operating close to customers and local markets, SHV’s Family of Companies combines entrepreneurial autonomy with a shared long‑term perspective. Together, they play an essential role in addressing key transitions in areas such as energy, food, safety, quality and infrastructure, while creating sustainable value for customers, communities and society.

Commenting on the milestone, the Chairman of SHV, Annemiek Fentener Van Vlissingen, said:

“For 130 years, SHV has been built on a long‑term vision, an entrepreneurial spirit and strong values. Our future depends on the strength of our Family of Companies and the commitment of our people. Together, we will continue to invest responsibly and build resilient businesses for generations to come.”

As SHV marks this anniversary, the company remains firmly focused on the future — strengthening its businesses, investing in people and continuing to act with responsibility. This long term approach is guided by SHV’s purpose: Courage to care for generations to come.
