Starfuels SA announces opening New York office

Starfuels SA, on behalf of its worldwide group of companies, is pleased to announce the opening of its New York office. The new entity is called Starfuels Inc. Starfuels Inc will start with a strong fuel oil and crude team. The fuel oil team (ex GFI/OC) consists of: Ricky Fasano, Stephen Fabrizi and Chris Laico. The crude team (ex TFS) will be formed by Gerard Delissio and Gregory Mason. Both teams have many years of brokering experience.

Starfuels has been looking for the right fuel oil and crude brokers for quite some time and with these two experienced teams they feel they have created a tremendous addition to the group. The fuel oil team will be responsible for all cracked fuel brokerage activity, both physical and derivative transactions, whereas the crude team will be responsible for crude oil and derivatives. The new USA based group will complement Starfuels’ European offices in Geneva and Rotterdam.

Starfuels is the new trade name under which the original owner and founders of Starsupply are committed to re-creating a global brand of physical-orientated niche oil brokers. Starfuels’ strategy to achieve this objective is to attract highly talented brokers and by the acquisition of specialized boutique firms within the industry.

Starfuels Press Release

Starfuels has recently opened offices in Geneva, Switzerland, is trying to revise and renovate a physically-based international oil brokerage firm that operates twenty four hours a day, in all time zones. Physical oil brokerage is best suited for niche or “boutique-style” operations.

Starsupply, Starfuels’ predecessor, divested itself almost ten years ago. Under the experienced guidance of Robert Ryneveld, Starfuels’ managing director, a return to the origins of the specialized oil-only independent brokerage is his main objective. Starfuels will be using a multitude of oil experts and specialists. According to Ryneveld, there is great urgency in accomplishing this renovation.

Quality will always trump, but never trample, quantity. The physical oil broker will once again become both an impartial entity and an integral part of the family that produces properly managed more responsible “boutique-style” oil firms. Starfuels is invested in the idea that, in order to be more flexible and more focused on oil-based trading, one must emphasize physical oil supplies, twenty-four, multiple time zone operations and real customer relations. This is the right time to refocus our goals and energies, going back to the system of niche oil brokerage that will produce physical results and profits.
