The gas market is so demanding and so confusing that needs devotion and constant view of the market and this is why we place such priority when we are to recruit our staff who are to handle this market.

In an effort to overcome the obstacles we have engaged ourselves on long term relations with state oil producers and refiners whom we trust and honor.

In most of the cases logistics are the biggest puzzle, and given the strict policy of the suppliers and their procedures, we step-in in any case we see a gap between those followed by our end buyers so as to bridge the differences.

For crude oil our main supplier is NNPC, Iraq and Oman and for distilled end products we source from smaller or bigger Russian refineries.

Our company procures Ferrous and non-Ferrous Metals from all over the world for valuable clientele spread across China, India,South Africa, Zambia, D.R. Congo, Turkey, Russia and Europe.
