Musket Corp. and Hoyer form European diesel procurement partnership

Houston/Visselhövede, Mar. 21, 2023 – Musket Corp., the trading and logistics arm of the Love’s Family of Companies, and Hoyer Trading & Supply GmbH, the supply arm of the Hoyer Group of Companies, today announced they have entered into a strategic partnership to procure diesel in Europe.

“This partnership brings together 157 years of combined privately-owned, family run commodity supply and logistics businesses to fuel the future,” said Frank Love, co-CEO of the Love’s Family of Companies. “We share a common culture that is driven by a focus on long-term value and investment in customer needs. We’ll leverage our newly formed Musket subsidiary in Geneva, Switzerland, to make sure this partnership is successful."

As the European diesel market shifts away from traditional supply chains, Musket and Hoyer will use both companies’ extensive downstream fuels expertise to provide supply in a challenging market.

“In a family business, we choose our partnerships very carefully. We met with the Love family and realized immediately that we share equal visions and values,” said Thomas Hoyer, CEO and owner of Hoyer. “Further, both Love's and Hoyer have chosen identical growth paths, independently from each other on their respective continents. I am extremely excited to explore what we can learn from each other and achieve for our customers when we work together.”
