Executive Board.

The management team introduces itself.

In its more than 100-year history, Westfalen has developed from a gas producer, supplier and gas station operator into a group of companies operating throughout Europe. With this growth, responsibility has also grown – towards our employees, customers and society. In order to continue the success story of the family-owned company, we prioritize expanding our modern energy portfolio and efficient solutions.
