Horizon International Trading A.G. (HIT) was established as a private company in 1996 with a focus on trading oil products originating from Saint Petersburg. Over the subsequent two decades, consistent growth led the company to become one of the largest off-takers in the Baltic region.Starting in 2015, in response to significant market changes that called for an adjustment to its business model, HIT brought in new management that began a process of diversification, broadening its portfolio of products and geographic reach by expanding its trading operations to multiple ports across a number of countries. The process enabled HIT to reach a turnover of USD 3.5 billion in 2019 and culminated with a management buyout of the company that was completed in early 2020.Today, HIT is a successful independent trading company working with every major player in the industry. It is run by a young team of professionals with an excellent knowledge of the business, diverse experience and profound market expertise. Our customers represent all types of oil market participants including large oil producers, refineries and leading logistics companies.HIT is active in several areas of the petroleum products and petrochemicals business, namely trading, storage, logistics, marketing and distribution. While the company’s focus remains on European oil products, it is also pursuing opportunities in the buying and selling of other commodities, alternative energy and trading of financial instruments. This development strategy is based on a long-term perspective and definite vision for our company, which has helped HIT earn a reputation as a stable, responsible and financially sound partner.
