November 16th 2016 – Glander International Bunkering (Norway) AS appoints Andreas Maierhofer as General Manager of new affiliated office in Oslo
Less than two months after the merge of Glander International Bunkering and Scandinavian Bunkering AS, the newly established Glander International Bunkering (Norway) AS has expanded locally, opening an office in Oslo. As part of the group’s ongoing European growth strategy the 16th of November 2016 will mark the opening of the group’s second Norwegian office under the name Glander International Bunkering (Norway) AS. Newly appointed Andreas Maierhofer will be running operations in Oslo as General Manager, and brings with him a diversified and international shipping background scaling over ten years.
Oslo is widely recognised as the hub of Norwegian shipping and a crucial centre for Maritime trade in Europe. As such, the opening of a second Norwegian office under the Glander International Bunkering name is the natural next step for the group, giving them access to new market segments in the shipping industry.
The Glander International Bunkering group will capitalise on Andreas’ varied professional accomplishments, in order to bring a universal and well-rounded perspective to the Oslo office. Andreas was previously employed by another industry player working most recently as Trading Manager in their Scandinavian office. Prior to this he held varying roles within the shipping industry, including Project Broker and Commercial Director. His diverse industry awareness is further complemented by his cultural adaptability and impressive language skills. As a result of the many countries he has lived in, including but not limited to; Canada, Norway, Germany, UK, Hong Kong, Spain and Dubai, Andreas is fluent in English, Norwegian and German.
