Nefco Holding B.V.

Nefco Holding B.V. was the parent company of OK-Gas and BK-Gas, a Dutch market liquefied gas supplier with a presence in the Netherlands and Belgium since 1962. OK Gas was known for its reliable, high-quality propane gas products and services, serving thousands of customers across various sectors. In 2019, we acquired Nefco Holding B.V., which allowed us to step into a different market and become the market leader in the LPG business in the Netherlands and Belgium.
Nefco Holding B.V.

Background

WESTFA's acquisition of Nefco Holding B.V., including its subsidiary OK Gas, was a strategic move aimed at expanding WESTFA's market presence and strengthening its position as a leading LPG supplier in the European market. Prior to the acquisition, Nefco had acquired BK-Gas, a subsidiary of energy company Argos, further expanding its market reach.

"After the acquisition of the Nefco Group by Adeleon, I was given the opportunity to develop myself further. Over the years I have had the opportunity to learn a lot and gain new experiences within an international organization. Currently, I am responsible as Managing Director for OK Gas BV in the Netherlands and have also been given the opportunity to join the international Executive Committee at WESTFA Energy."
