PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
Our core business is steel trade facilitation and consulting in term of African development.
By acting as an intermediary, we give steel suppliers an easy way to market their products and secure customers right across the continent. And we give purchasers the expertise and support to find exactly the right quantity and grade of steel to suit their needs.
STEEL TRADING AND DISTRIBUTION
Our global presence and expertise allow us to connect customers with a huge range of suppliers, and to ensure they find the products to suit their exact needs. Suppliers rely on this ability too, as a way of putting them in touch with customers who would otherwise be out of reach.
We handle the complete range of steel products including all long, flat and tubular products of carbon, stainless and engineering steels as well as semi-finished products. Our customers range from intermediate steel mills, stockholders and steel processors to manufacturers of specialist steel products for the oil and gas, automotive and consumer goods industries.
As well as making complex transactions easy, we also offer a range of added value services, including offtake arrangements, various forms of credit, the use of derivatives for price risk management, shipping, inspection, breaking bulk at port, clearing goods through customs, handling complex VAT regulations and organising inland transport, consignment programs and intermediate stocking.
RAW MATERIALS
We don’t just connect producers with customers; we connect them with raw materials as well. We supply a range of raw materials vital to the steel production process, including scrap, iron ore, pig iron, HBI/DRI, coal, coke and ferroalloys.
LOGISTICS
In order to make complex steel transactions easy for both suppliers and buyers, it’s essential to ensure the quick, efficient and reliable transportation of goods. That’s why we have agreements with shipping hubs in London, Amsterdam and Singapore.
Their services include safe handling, loading, shipping, breaking bulk, storage, insurance, inspection and inland distribution.
PRICE RISK MANAGEMENT
The price of steel is very volatile. To help clients deal with this, our Price Risk Management team uses a range of tools to reduce exposure to fluctuations.
