Who we are

Three inherited capability layers. One commercial platform.

TEM Global Investments Limited is a cross-border trade and investment platform built on forty-five years of petroleum distribution through TEM Petrol, a decade of specialist deal-structuring through Petrogemini International, and the unified TEM Global platform incorporated in 2019.

1981

TEM Petrol Limited

Founded in 1981 as a petroleum distributor operating across the Eastern Mediterranean. Over four decades, TEM Petrol developed the supplier relationships, energy logistics infrastructure, and market-embedded counterparty network that remain the commercial foundation of TEM Global today.

2009

Petrogemini International

Co-founded in 2009 by TEM Global's CFO and CCO as a specialist cross-border trading and deal-structuring consultancy. Through more than a decade of active operations, Petrogemini developed the transaction architecture, trade finance discipline, and multi-jurisdiction execution capability that forms TEM Global's operational core.

2019

TEM Global Investments Ltd

Incorporated in 2019 to consolidate TEM Petrol's legacy supplier network and Petrogemini's specialist execution platform into a single cross-border commercial structure — deploying accumulated relationships, transaction discipline, and market knowledge across commodity trading and international investment facilitation.
