SHV Holdings were founded in 1896 as "Steenkolen Handels-Vereeniging" in the Netherlands through the merger of eight coal wholesalers, as a response to the formation of the Rheinisch-Westfälisches Kohlen-Syndikat.cite book | last = Jones | first = Geoffrey | year = 1998 | title = The Multinational Traders | publisher = Routledge | isbn = 0415180023 | pages = p. 87 ] They started to diversify their interests in the following years, moving into shipping and retail. Post World War II, SHV expanded their energy interests into oil and petrol, and in 1964 established the Makro cash-and-carry stores. By 1995 they were the largest trading company in the Netherlands.cite book | last = Jones | first = Geoffrey | year = 1998 | title = The Multinational Traders | publisher = Routledge | isbn = 0415180023 | pages = pp. 87-88 ]
