About Us
We believe global trade is more than the exchange of commodities, it is the foundation of shared growth, prosperity, and sustainable development. Headquartered in Dubai, we operate across Africa, the Middle East, Europe, Asia, and the Americas, bridging continents through resources, investment, and innovation.
With more than 45 years of expertise in natural resources and commodities, we have built a reputation as a trusted partner in gold and oil trading, mine exploration, logistics, and strategic investments. Our vertically integrated model gives us the ability to manage every stage of the value chain; from exploration and sourcing to trading, risk management, and delivery, ensuring reliability, compliance, and value creation at scale.
