Same Commitment, new Brand: Hempelmann Wittemöller to operate under the brand MB Energy

Hamburg/Hiddenhausen | 6 May 2026

After a long and successful company history, a new chapter is now beginning: Hempelmann Wittemöller GmbH will from on now operate under the brand MB Energy marking an important milestone in the ongoing rebranding of the MB Energy Group. The move brings together many years of expertise, regional strength and a shared commitment to customer focus under a single future-oriented brand, while maintaining local workforce and customer proximity.

“Hempelmann Wittemöller has built a strong reputation over many years as a trusted regional fuel supplier – valued for its personal service and deep understanding of the customers’ operational needs. As part of MB Energy, this strength becomes even more visible thanks to its strong local presence,” says Lars Schader, Head of Region West, in the Last Mile Energy area at MB Energy and Managing Director of Hempelmann Wittemöller GmbH. “We are proud to be moving closer together, also in terms of our external image, as we continue this success story.”

Respect for a strong legacy

With over a century of company history, Hempelmann Wittemöller has been providing energy to northern and western Germany, its top priority always being meeting the customers’ needs. The company has built on this reputation within the Petronord Group, providing tailor-made solutions and products from its sites in Hiddenhausen, Lübbecke and Vechta. The services range from heating oil and fuel sales to AdBlue®, pellets, firewood and LPG.

“With MB Energy we have established a clear and unified presence in the market – one face to the customers, while keeping our strong regional presence. This enables us to provide a wide variety of products and solutions from a single source. We offer reliable, worry-free energy today and expand our product portfolio with future-oriented energy solutions to meet our customers’ needs of tomorrow,” emphasises André Cardoso, SVP Sales & Marketing at MB Energy. “We are delighted that the energy, experience, expertise and strong sense of responsibility which the employees at Hempelmann Wittemöller have shown over the years will now be channelled into a strong future under the MB Energy brand.”

Together into the future

Hempelmann Wittemöller now also operating under the joint brand is part of MB Energy’s overarching brand strategy, which will see more than 50 individual brands from the former Mabanaft Group, including those from the Petronord Group, brought together under a strong shared brand identity. For Hempelmann Wittemöller the new brand identity is part of a larger integration effort which brings not only a visual change, but also a clear shared commitment to customer focus, innovation and a secure, future-oriented energy supply, while maintaining local workforce and customer proximity.

MB Energy stands for a flexible supply infrastructure supported by strong regional presence such as Hempelmann Wittemöller. These companies, their people and their customer relationships are a core part of the group – and they too will now benefit from the new brand identity and the resulting increased visibility and strength.

New brand – same attitude

With the new brand comes a fresh design, a modern logo and a clear vision – the spirit, expertise and partnership for which Hempelmann Wittemöller has always been known are part of this and will remain so. Under the MB Energy brand, these strengths will continue to guide the business – now with greater visibility, scale and ambition for the future.
