01 / The material focus

Defined grades.
Clear opportunities.

We focus on materials that can be specified, inspected and priced—not vague listings or speculative positions.

Industrial secondary metals

Give valuable scrap
a direct route to demand.

Grade and assay normalization connects processors and aggregators with the specifications mills and smelters need.

  • Aluminum extrusion scrap
  • Copper millberry
  • Brass turnings

Non-perishable agriculture

Bulk supply.
Specific requirements.

Buyer matching for bulk pulses and specialty grains, with quality specifications, origin documentation and freight built into the trade assessment.

Share grade, volume, origin and availability. We assess the fit.

02 / From feed to freight

One desk.
Every handoff.

Automation moves the routine work. Exception handling keeps quality, counterparties and contract terms in focus.

7–21 days

Target transaction cycle, not a delivery guarantee. Timing depends on the lane, inspection and settlement.

  1. 01

    Intake & price

    Submit inventory or a buying requirement. We normalize grade and assay data, then assess benchmark pricing, freight, inspection and the trade spread.

  2. 02

    Match & contract

    Align qualified supply and demand through back-to-back contracts. Confirm buyer backing before procurement; assess hedging where fixed-price exposure remains.

  3. 03

    Inspect & settle

    Coordinate independent origin inspection and agree escrow or irrevocable letter-of-credit terms. Final supplier disbursement follows assay sign-off.

  4. 04

    Book & track

    Coordinate third-party freight, customs documentation and bills of lading. Track the physical shipment without owned warehouses or fleets.
