About us

Josef Gertken GmbH is a medium-sized family business from Voltlage in the district of Osnabrück, founded in 1961 by Josef and Frieda Gertken with a gasoline representation in the petroleum sector. As an ARAL brand distribution partner, the company supplies customers with low-sulphur heating oil to DIN 51601, additive-enhanced premium heating oil, diesel fuel, lubricants and AdBlue (Air1®). Delivery is carried out exclusively with the company's own vehicle fleet; almost 70 million litres of fuel are transported annually, for which a generously dimensioned tank farm is available for storage. Core customers are agriculture, the construction industry and the haulage sector; this includes field refuelling of combine harvesters and tractors, even outside opening hours, as well as heating oil delivery to private customers. The range of services is complemented by two company-owned petrol stations in Neuenkirchen and Thuine, three tank pools, lubricant consulting, tank system cleaning, accessory sales as well as transport services and building materials.
