Foundation of HVL GmbH as a sole proprietorship Handel und Verwertung Lips

“With experience from the chemical trade (Brenntag) and contacts to the Bundeswehr, I started the HVL project after the fall of the Berlin Wall with the dissolution of the National People’s Army, the former army of the GDR. There, I specialised in particular in the marketing of fuels and lubricants from stocks of the National People’s Army.” (Ulrich Lips)
