Agriculture

Our agriculture portfolio range from grain (barely, corn and wheat) to oilseeds (soybeans and raps) to cotton. Having local presence in the supplying countries allows us to source directly from farmers and cooperatives. In many instances we have joint ventures with these producers which gives us an edge when negotiating prices. Moreover, with access to storage facilities at ports supply disruptions are avoided.

FERTILIZER PRODUCTS Fertilizers are indispensable in the agricultural industry. For the plants to grow adequately the soil must be rich in essential elements. Fertilizers provide the nutrients needed for growth of your corps. We can supply nitrogen, potash, sulphate and phosphate based fertilizers.

Ferrous Metal

Iron Ore

Mainly used in the production of steel we can supply both lumps and fines sourced directly from mines from different corners of the world.

Iron Ore Concentrate & pellets

Fines and stockpiles that were regarded as waste in the past are now used in the production of pellets, an attractive option for blast furnace operated steel mills.

Steel

In terms of volume, steel and iron ore are the most traded metals as they are used in almost every real estate and infrastructural development and can be regarded as the backbone of every construction project.




Steel is grouped into three broad categories:

Semi-finished:

Billet

Steel billets are square shaped long metals of 36 square inches and are further processed to mainly two types of long products: Reinforcing Bar and Wire Rod.

Bloom

Blooms like billets are square shaped with a cross section above 36 square inches. Blooms are further processed to long products such as profiles, beams, rails and columns.

Slab

Steel slabs are rectangular shaped wide metals that are used in the manufacturing of flat products such as coils, sheets and plates.


Long:

Reinforcing Bar (Rebar)

As the name suggests Rebars are used for the purpose of reinforcement. In construction Rebars help to reinforce concrete through their deformed surface.

Merchant Bar

Merchant bars are used in the fabrication of a wide range of engineering products. They include flat, square and round bars, equal and unequal angles, channels and similar products.

Structural Sections

Structural sections take the shape of I, H or U and are used in complex structures such as high-rises and bridges structural.

Wire Rod

Wire rod has many applications. Depending on its specifications applications vary. Low carbon wire rod is used for mesh and fences while high carbon rod is used for tyre and fasteners.

Tubes & Pipes

This product range is divided into categories: Seamless tube and welded tube. Seamless tube finds use in boiler, oil and gas industries and automotive transmission component. Welded tubes are generally used in engineering applications, power generation plants, oil refineries, automotive sector and furniture plants


Flat:

Hot Rolled Coil and Sheet

HRC and HRS are applied in areas such as cars, electrical appliances, construction materials, containers, and steel pipes. They can be further processed to CRC and coated coils.

Cold Rolled Coil and Sheet

Cold rolled steel finds application in areas where superior forming, painting and welding is needed. These areas include car manufacturing, electrical components and appliances, office equipment or any project where tolerance, straightness and surface finishing are crucial to the outcome.

Hot Dipped Galvanized Coil / Sheet

HDG combines the strength and formability of steel with a uniform zinc coating that provides corrosion protection. It is mainly applied in areas where durability and shiny surface is of major concern – such as lighting fixtures, kitchen appliances, roofing, automotive and many more.

Hot Rolled Plate

Displaying same qualities as HRS hot rolled plate have higher thickness and are used in the construction industry and shipbuilding.

Tin Plate

Tin plate is mainly used is the production of food and drink can. The tin layer helps to preserve the food whilst quality is not compromised. Packaging of paints and oils are other application areas.

Coated Steel Coil and Sheet

Coated steel is protected from corrosion and finds application in automotive industry and outer frame and roof of buildings.

Non Ferrous Metal

Copper

Copper ore undergoes serval stages in its production process. We directly work with miners and manufacturers supplying us with all products alongside the production chain.

Copper Concentrate

Copper ore is extracted from open pits or mines. After big chunks of the ore are broken down into small pieces the beneficiation takes places. At this stage the ore is processed into copper concentrate containing 20-30% copper. Iron ore and sulfur constitute the other two major components.

Blister

In order to remove iron ore and sulfur the copper concentrate is fed into a furnace. Preheated oxygen-rich air is and a material called flux is added to the furnace. The flux and the oxygen bind the iron ore and the sulfur respectively. This results in a 99% pure copper blister.

Anode

The blister is further process in a furnace where more impurities are oxidized. The 99.5% molten copper is cast into molds that form anodes.

Cathode

The anode is placed in a tank containing acidic solution and a copper cathode sheet at its opposite end. Through an electrical current the anode is dissolved over time and the copper deposited on the cathode. The cathode is of a very high purity.

Ingot

For the purpose of transportation and processing copper cathodes may be cast into ingot or billet forms. Alternatively ingots can be won from copper scrap. Ingots cast this way have a much lower concentration of 97%-99%.

Rod

Copper rods are made of cathodes or high purity ingots and are used as feed stock for wire and cables.

Brass

Sheet

Tube

Aluminium

In the production of Aluminum as it is used in the industries, Bauxite ore needs to be first extracted from the ground. In a next step Bauxite is further processed to Alumina which in turn feeds into the production of pure Aluminium. We can supply all the range of products and commodities across the aluminium production chain –starting from Bauxite to high purity aluminium ingots.

Naphtha

Naphtha is a flammable liquid that finds its main use in the production gasoline and olefins.

Methanol

Methanol is a very versatile product that is used both in the energy and petrochemical field. It is the primarily feedstock for the production of MTBE, acetic acid formaldehyde and industrial solvents. It is also used in biodiesel and gasoline blending.

Fuel Oil

Fuel oil is the heaviest form of commercial fuel. It is used for power generation in big ships or for heat generation in boilers.

Bitumen

Bitumen is a semi-solid oil product. Its main application is in the construction industry – in roofing of buildings and paving of roads.

Natural Bitumen

Natural bitumen is a solid oil product. Unlike bitumen it is not produced in refineries but is simply extracted from the earth surface in form of solid ore. It finds major application in optimizing the qualities asphalt and in the production of drilling mud. The more pure form of natural bitumen is used in the cosmetic industry.

Met Coke

Metallurgical Coke is almost entirely used in the production of steel. It is an excellent source of high quality carbon. Mixed in the furnace with limestone and iron ore, met coke is a feedstock in steel making

Thermal Coal

Thermal Coal is the world’s most abundant fossil fuel. It is used for the generation of energy.

Coking Coal

Coking Coal is richer in carbon than thermal coal and is used as feed stock for producing met coke which in turn is used in the production of steel.
