Price volatility in the petroleum markets is unprecedented. However, financial management tools and programs are available to properly manage and control this large expense. We provide those programs on a nationwide basis and do it better than anyone else.

Our clients have transformed the fuel procurement process from an operational, order management focus to a financial management issue. Maxum Petroleum provides executive management with the financial tools and performance metrics required to control the fuel procurement process without a burdensome time commitment. We make it simple to design and execute a long-term cost control strategy.

No longer at the mercy of market forces beyond their control, our clients have the capability to minimize the probability of financial distress, budget effectively, and meet cash flow and other financial projections.

Since 1981, Maxum Petroleum has been offering “wet gallon” hedges such as those described below:

Fixed-Firm: A contract that offers a fixed price for a specific quantity of fuel during an agreed upon time period. The time period may be for 1 to 60 months in the future.

Flex-Term: A fixed-firm price that the client has the flexibility of taking delivery of the gallons as they choose, purchasing fuel at market prices or at the contracted price depending on which is most advantageous.

Ceiling with a Floor: A contract that reduces price volatility by providing a ceiling that the fuel price will not exceed and a floor that the price will not go below.

Ceiling without a Floor: The fuel price is "capped" at a mutually agreed price. The client participates in all downward movements in price, but never pays more than the ceiling price.

We also offer many custom programs designed to meet the unique requirements of the various commercial and industrial industries we service.
