Malik Supply A/S has appointed Nicklas Mikkelsen as the first of its newly hired traders for its Dubai office, which is scheduled to open on January 1, 2026.

Mikkelsen, originally from Aalborg, Denmark, joins colleagues Christoffer Edwards and Andreas Sloth Heunecke in establishing the new location. He brings two years of experience from the bunker industry and has been living in Dubai for the past couple of years, having previously served as a bunker trader at Propeller Fuels and Glander International Bunkering.

The new hire recently visited the joint headquarters of Malik Supply and Malik Energy A/S in Aalborg, where he met with colleagues from different offices.

Mikkelsen commented: "I'm incredibly happy to have joined Malik Supply. I had the chance to visit the headquarters along with colleagues from our different offices, and I immediately felt welcomed. It's clear that this is a place where people support one another and work towards a common goal, and I'm excited to be part of establishing the new office in Dubai together with a really strong team."

The Dubai office represents Malik Supply's expansion into the Middle East region, with the company leveraging Mikkelsen's existing regional presence and market knowledge.

Malik Supply is headquartered in Aalborg, Denmark, and forms part of Malik Group, which also has offices in Fredericia, Greece, Greenland and Sweden.
