Our core business is steel trading and distribution.
By acting as an intermediary, we give steel suppliers an easy way to market their products and secure customers right across the globe. 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/GST/TAX regulations and organising inland transport, consignment programs and intermediate stocking.
Special Products
We have a history of working with customers who require highly specialised steel products including those in the oil and gas and automotive industries. We are also able to work with specialist product suppliers in getting their products to the right market
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 shipping hubs in INDIA, London, New York, Dubai, Hong Kong and Singapore.
Their services include safe handling, C&F, 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.
Stockholding
As well as connecting larger buyers directly with suppliers, we also offer solutions for smaller customers. Suppliers generally want to produce in bulk over an extended period of time, so they won’t usually deal with small-scale buyers. That’s why we hold stock, which we sell to buyers looking for smaller quantities at short notice. We also offer further processing to match their exact needs.
Locations
Our business model is based on a global network of offices and subsidiary entities.
This allows us to have small, self-contained AIT units around the world, as well as a variety of specialist subsidiaries, each with their own areas of expertise and core service functions including stockholding, trading and supplying specialist products.
