Gunvor Group has officially rebranded as Centalion Group Ltd. and initiated a move of its corporate headquarters from Cyprus to Singapore. The restructuring follows a shareholder referendum held earlier this year.
Why it matters
The rebrand and relocation represent the company's evolution under a new ownership structure. By moving its home base, the firm is signaling a strategic shift in its global operations.
The firm secured approval through a shareholder referendum conducted in July 2026 to proceed with the corporate restructuring. This move concludes the transition from the legacy Gunvor Group brand.
