HBI is a brokerage house founded in 1986 by two former Unilever managers. We have grown over the years into a small multinational company, employing 35 people, with headquarters in Paris France. We are very focused on the oleochemicals and glycerine markets. Thanks to our subsidiary offices in Mumbay India, Nanjing China, New York USA and Buenos Aeres Argentina, we are able to always have an eye and an ear in all geographies pertaining to the business. HBI are recognized experts in the glycerine field and have moved during the last years over 300,000 mt of glycerine per year which amounts to more than 10% of the global market. As brokers we have the equivalent function of a real estate agent when you buy or sell a house. If you are a seller we will find you two or three buyers interested in the good you want to sell, if you are a buyer we will present to you 2 or 3 goods within your budget. Some customers have taken the relationship a notch further and have appointed us as exclusive agents, either for sourcing or for purchasing. HBI's experience, market share and discretion in the market add up to a great solution for strategic projects. Our daughter company Oleoline publishes market reports and conducts consultancy projects.
