An international commodity trading company is a distinct, specialized entity set up to centrally manage trading activities for specific commodities in the oil and gas and mining industries. With one or a few of these specialized entities, a corporate group can unify its global trading and marketing activities and better manage and meet customer demand while improving their profit margins at the same time.
From North America and Europe to the Middle East and Asia, a number of locations around the world have emerged as vibrant centers for this activity. Preferred locations have investment-friendly government policies, strategic proximity to markets, and good financial services infrastructures.
