Selon les cotations de l’ICIS, les prix européens à l’export et intérieurs Europe du Nord-ouest des huiles de base ont baissé ces dernières années jusqu’à atteindre leur niveau d’il y a presque un an.

Les fournisseurs d’Europe de l’Est rechignent à accepter des baisses de prix supplémentaires. La pression continue sur les prix pourrait avoir pour effet la production de produits alternatifs à mesure que ceux-ci deviennent économiquement rentables.

La nouvelle législation européenne REACH (Registrement, Evaluation et Autorisation des produits Chimiques) entrera en vigueur le 1er juin 2007.

Ses répercussions sur notre industrie pour les importateurs et les producteurs seront traitées dans les prochaines newsletters d’hocem.

Nous vous tenons au courant!

In January 2007 hocem launches its regular Newsletter containing latest information, news and background information for the base oil market. In regular intervals we will comment on interesting topics and latest news.

The newsletter will be available on our website www.hocem.com.

The decline in oil prices combined with difficult market circumstances made 2006 a challenging year. Nevertheless the Base Oil Business of Group 1 is still growing worldwide. Difficult markets however create a lot of opportunities in pricing, services, logistics and quality development.

The hocem development was stable. We offer our customers supplies from our own shore tanks in Tallinn, Eastham and Antwerp. By improving our product qualities hocem was approved as a regular supplier to some major oil companies. We take pride in our performance and the complete fulfillment of all commitments to our customers during 2006.

This year hocem sponsors for the second time the World Base Oil Conference 2007 in London. We welcome you to this event at the Hilton Park Lane Hotel and we are looking forward to high level speeches, inspiring discussions and of course to personal meetings.

During the Conference hocem will be represented by the chairmen Mr. Albrecht Haase and Mr. Adalbert Marschalkowski and our sales managers Mr. Hans Groen and Mr. Malte Ehmcke. Please contact us for personal meetings at our hocem Meeting Point.
