Gunvor Group Changes Name to Centalion and Moves Legal Headquarters to Singapore
The Gunvor Group has rebranded as Centalion, reflecting a new ownership structure, leadership model, and strategic vision. The company also announced plans to move its legal headquarters from Cyprus to Singapore, where it has maintained operations since 2006. Gary Pedersen, the chairman and CEO of Centalion, emphasized that this transition is driven by strength and aims to reinforce the firm's position as a leading global energy and metals operator. Centalion will retain major commercial offices in Geneva (Switzerland) and Houston (U.S.), while its new identity supports expanded operations across crude oil derivatives, natural gas, electricity storage, biofuels, carbon credits, and an increasing focus on metal trading. The company reported record trading volumes for the first half of 2026 and employs over 2,000 people globally. The rebranding followed a shareholder vote in 2026 after six months of employee engagement and market positioning research by Landor. Centalion aims to become a key investment partner in gas and electricity infrastructure worldwide while promoting energy security.
