Our History
Since 1877, our company has passed through several stages of evolution. Twenty years after our creation, we progressed from delivering asphalt for the streets of Paris to distilling bitumen. In the 1920’s, we moved away from distributing coal to distributing fuel. Attuned to our increasingly sophisticated clients’ and partners’ needs and as a natural step, we continued our evolution in the 1950s by developing our storage activity and diversifying our product mix to include vegetable oils, molasses, and fuels.
In the 1990s, we took a further step and started blending biofuels and storing alternative products such as chemicals. Today’s market is changing, and we are adapting again, contributing to the sustainability transition as an enabler of new energy flows.
Through more than 200 contracts across the portfolio, we serve as an essential link in the logistics chains of fuel and biofuel companies, chemical groups, agricultural cooperatives, refiners, distributors (hypermarkets), and traders, by storing local and imported products. We also provide services such as blending, additivation and markering and ensure a bulk transport connection as close as possible to the product’s destination.
Responsible for supplying major centers of consumption and industrial activity (France, Spain and ARA ), we seek to develop tailored, effective and reliable solutions that best support our partners’ operations. In addition to offering specific types of storage, all complying with stringent technical standards, Rubis Terminal Infra provides loading and unloading infrastructure as well as maritime, river, road, rail and pipeline connections. We continuously adapt our services and assets to deliver the best logistics solutions, favoring timely bulk transport for upstream sourcing and/or downstream deliveries. Our logistics tools are responsive and efficient, allowing us to optimize both our own and our clients’ environmental footprint.
Our comprehensive range of services ensures we meet our customers’ needs and contribute to their value chain and overall economic growth. We collaborate with various strategic operators, suppliers, and contractors along the value chain to help us provide a high-quality and flexible service. These operators include shipping lines as well as a national and international pipeline operators. We also store strategic reserves that ensure continuity of supply.
