Hoyer has it in black and white: With the company’s own Finke Mineralölwerk GmbH, the production, storage and logistics of AdBlue® is officially certified by the VDA (Verband der Automobilindustrie e.V. (German Association of the Automotive Industry)). In 2011, Hoyer was one of the first companies to pass this audit. The requirements are reviewed every three years, with the company headquartered in Visselhövede, Lower Saxony, regularly achieving top marks. The requirements of ISO 22241 have been reliably met at all times since 2011. OELCHECK all-inclusive analyses make a decisive contribution to this.

Certification by the VDA not only relates to the production of AdBlue® in accordance with the quality defined in ISO 22241-1. Hoyer is also obliged to monitor the entire distribution chain and ensure that AdBlue® is not contaminated with other substances during transport or packaging.

AdBlue® is manufactured in the company’s own plant in Bremen, among other places. At the nearby company headquarters, Hoyer has a high tank farm for the urea solution with a volume of several hundred thousand litres and fully automatic filling lines. There are also other storage units throughout Germany.

Hoyer is now one of the largest distributors of AdBlue® in Germany. With its own fleet of calibrated stainless steel tankers, which are specifically approved for transporting the urea solution, the company ensures a comprehensive supply of bulk goods in Germany and abroad. AdBlue® can be refuelled from the pump at many of the company’s more than 275 filling stations and truck stops. Hoyer delivers AdBlue® directly to customers with higher requirements in tankers, containers, drums or pallets with small containers. Alternatively, these can also be purchased at filling stations or in the online shop.

OELCHECK all-inclusive analysis kits for AdBlue® are the ideal tool for this. They are used to determine all key data of ISO 22241-1.

These include:

• Values such as urea concentration, pH value, density, amount of insoluble foreign substances and alkalinity.
• Precise information about the elements contained in AdBlue® and thus also about potential catalyst poisons, such as biurets and aldehydes as well as non-ferrous and/or alkaline/earth alkali metals.

All values of all AdBlue® analyses carried out by OELCHECK are carefully documented and can be accessed at any time. Even if a customer has a query about one of the batches, proof of the quality of the delivered goods can be provided immediately at any time.

With around 2,500 employees, Hoyer is one of the largest medium-sized and independent family businesses in the energy industry in Germany.

The traditional trade and distribution of heating oil, liquid gas, diesel and other products from the heating and mobility sectors has been expanded continuously over the years. LNG, bio-LNG, HVO100 and future fuels have long been part of the large portfolio, as have wood pellets and briquettes based on renewable raw materials. The provision of PV systems, electricity storage systems and charging infrastructure for the electrification of vehicle fleets also support customers on the road to a more sustainable economy.

The company’s own Finke Mineral Oil Plant develops, produces and distributes high-quality lubricants for the national and international market. As Chevron’s exclusive sales partner, Hoyer also has access to Texaco’s full product range. And as European Master Distributor of the American Lubriplate Lubricants Company, Finke and Hoyer are also a competent partner in the field of food lubricants.

OELCHECK has been a companion of the company for many years and, in addition to AdBlue®, also analyses gas engine oils, hydraulic fluids, turbine and compressor oils, coolants and fuels as required.
 

Guaranteed security of supply is a decisive factor in all areas. Hoyer has access to a comprehensive network of tank farms and a company-owned fleet of 1,300 vehicles to deliver heating, fuel, lubricants and operating fluids to customers at any time. Eight tankers belong to the company and are used for ship refuelling and supplying the tank farms. More than 275 of our own filling stations and truck stops are distributed throughout Germany. With the Hoyer Card, this network is complemented by a large network of partner filling stations of more than 5,000 stations in Germany and abroad. The company’s own fuel card has been expanded to a full-service card and offers, for example, a toll service for Germany and other European countries as well as, in combination with the Hoyer app, mobile payment at the fuel pump.
