About us
Trafigura is at the forefront of the commodity trading industry. We use market knowledge, logistics and global resources to move physical commodities where they’re needed when they’re needed.
What we do
At the heart of global supply, Trafigura connects the world with the vital resources it needs. Through our Oil and Petroleum Products, Metals and Minerals, and Power and Renewables divisions, we deploy infrastructure, skills and a global network to move commodities from where they are plentiful to where they are needed most, forming strong relationships that make supply chains more efficient, secure and sustainable.
Our markets

Physical Trading
Trafigura adds value by trading physical commodities reliably, efficiently and responsibly. We source products from remote locations. We deliver on-time, on-spec shipments almost anywhere. We support producers, invest in terminals and transportation, and meet the most demanding mandates.

Investing in infrastructure
Trafigura invests worldwide in strategically located infrastructure. We invest in ports, terminals and logistics that enhance our physical trading activities. We build warehouses and storage facilities, operate truck and barge fleets, buy ships and develop mines – whatever it takes to help trade flow.

Trading responsibly
Trafigura’s activities are technically complex and geographically dispersed. We source, store, blend and deliver combustible and hard-to-handle materials across the globe. We own and manage storage facilities, vessels, warehouses and mines. The management of health, safety, environmental and community (HSEC) concerns are central to our planning and decision-making.
Our global network
Our global network supports our trading activities and helps us connect producers and consumers worldwide. Every one of our offices has access to the knowledge, resources and support of the entire Trafigura Group.
