Imagine a world where individuals and organisations have seamless and timely access to the most comprehensive and trustworthy data and insights on commodities, energy, containerised goods, and other crucial aspects of global trade. This world is Kpler. For a decade, weve set the standard in data and analytics for global trade. Kpler has expanded impressively, multiplying its size by five in just three years. Weve been profitable from the start. Proudly, our company remains primarily owned by its founders and team members. Were dedicated to crafting industry-leading products that optimize performance and efficiency. This commitment is a key reason behind our continuous growth since our first product launch. The evolution of Kpler was punctuated by strategic mergers and acquisitions. The acquisition of ClipperData (2021) and JBC Energy (2022) fortified its foothold in the commodities and data sectors. The integration of COR-e (2022) facilitated entry into the European power market. In 2023, Kpler made significant strides by acquiring the two leading ship tracking and maritime analytics providers MarineTraffic and FleetMon. Kpler now provides essential insights into the movements and activities of vessels across seas, oceans and rivers.
