History
The plant was founded in 1963 under the name International Cooperative Petroleum Association (ICPA). After several expansions, the company developed into an independent, reliable partner for the international marine and automotive lubricant sectors.
ICPA initially only worked with other cooperative associations. Since 1995, when they transformed to a limited company (Ltd.) and the name Transnational Blenders was born, the company is open to all kinds of business cooperations.
In 2000, Transnational Blenders was acquired from ICPA by the current owner ENVIEM Holding. Between 2001 and 2006 large investments were initiated. The area doubled to 20.000 m2 and the capacity increased up to approximately 140.000 mt.
More recently we invested in new machinery, additional storage capacity and sustainability. We have installed solar panels, recycle cans and drums where possible and do research in the use of biofuels and other alternative energy sources.

OUR LOCATION
Transnational Blenders B.V. is located in Dordrecht, The Netherlands.
A strategic location, beneficial to the business in the direct area. Besides, Dordrecht is part of the Randstad: a megalopolis with the highest industrial development rate in The Netherlands. Transnational Blenders is easily reached by road and the port of Rotterdam is around the corner.
The port of Antwerp is within reach as well. Perfect for our internationally orientated customers. However important, being accessible by road is not the main advantage- with our own jetty and direct access to the North Sea, Transnational Blenders is easily accessible by water too. This is ideal for managing our bunkering activities and enables our ships to provide larger volumes of base stock directly to our plant.
