In 2014, engineers François Cazor and Jean Maynier noticed something critical about the LNG market: despite being one of the world's most important energy sectors, it operated with strikingly little transparency. Cargo movements were opaque, pricing was opaque, and traders made decisions based on incomplete information. They founded Kpler with a clear mission - to bring radical transparency to global commodity markets through data.
What started as the first cargo-tracking solution for LNG has evolved into something far more consequential. Today, Kpler provides real-time intelligence across 40+ commodities, power markets, and maritime logistics, trusted by over 10,000 organizations worldwide. The company's platform combines satellite tracking, AIS data, and advanced analytics to deliver visibility that simply didn't exist before. With strategic acquisitions like MarineTraffic and a team of over 750 experts across 35+ nations, Kpler has transformed from an LNG specialist into the definitive source for global trade intelligence - helping everyone from commodity traders to government agencies make better decisions in markets that affect the global economy.
