At the heart of any commercial organisation is the need to know exactly what, why, where, when and how it is exposed to the market, and the impact these elements have on the profitability of the company.

Our Supply Managers and Operators provide direct support to the Sales Team, Business Unit Managers and Business Development representatives in each region to ensure that the Sales department is able to meet its growth and profitability targets.

Essentially, Operations is the movement of goods from point A to point B and all the corresponding logistics and invoicing relevant to the movement. At Trafigura, the scope of Operations expands to executing all aspects of the trade to the best commercial advantage while ensuring full compliance with regulations and legislation.

The Trade Finance team in Trafigura is a key department within the Group. The ability to both raise liquidity from our financial partners and mitigate credit and performance exposure of our trading counterparties are key responsibilities for any successful company.

The warehousing and logistics division is a rapidly expanding sector of the Trafigura group, employing over 1200 people across Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America and North America.

Having a clear understanding of market conditions is an essential component of Trafigura’s day-to-day business. The Research Team is responsible for the Company’s views and understanding of all the different commodities and geographies in which we trade and do business.
