Kaeline is pleased to announce the acquisition of Lubedesk, marking a significant milestone in the Group’s long-term strategy to strengthen its presence and commercial leadership in the Greek maritime market, one of the most important shipping hubs worldwide.

Through this acquisition, Kaeline further reinforces its position in the marine lubricants sector by integrating Lubedesk’s well-established network, deep market expertise, and strong relationships within the Greek shipping community.

By extending its supply offering, Kaeline is positioned to deliver reliable, compliant, and cost-effective marine urea solutions through an expanded network of strategic locations, supporting customers in meeting evolving emissions standards.

In parallel, the integration of Lubedesk’s advanced digital trading and supply management platform accelerates Kaeline’s digital transformation agenda. This strengthens transparency, operational efficiency, and real-time coordination across the supply chain, allowing the Group to deliver higher service quality and data-driven solutions to customers and partners.

The combination of Kaeline’s global operational footprint with Lubedesk’s strong local market presence creates meaningful synergies, resulting in a more integrated, efficient, and scalable supply platform. These synergies support enhanced service flexibility, increased value creation, and sustainable long-term growth.

This acquisition reaffirms Kaeline’s commitment to innovation, digital development, and operational excellence across the marine supply industry. Together, Kaeline and Lubedesk advance leadership in marine lubricants, expand into marine urea, and contribute to shaping the future of digital marine supply solutions.
