Historical logo

The Calpam petroleum mbH was under the name "German PAM Petroleum-Gesellschaft mbH" was established on July 13, 1961 and 1989 by Bolloré - Group involving the holding company CIPCH (Calpam International Petroleum Company Holding BV, Rotterdam / NL) 100% accepted. On December 1, 1994 the company name was changed to "Calpam Mineralöl-Gesellschaft mbH". The historic Deutsche PAM Mineralölgesellschaft, a subsidiary of the Dutch SHV group based in Düsseldorf, supplied customers with fuel, heating oil and lubricants in regional and direct sales and, for strategic reasons, relocated its headquarters to Aschaffenburg, the location of its largest tank farm. In 1989, Calpam became a subsidiary of the Bolloré Group's energy division in Paris. A trademark agreement with the former owners in 1994 led to the current name Calpam Mineralöl-Gesellschaft mbH . The origins of the brand name Calpam go back to an earlier joint venture between Chevron and the Dutch PAM .
