“……and commodity trading”
Within the diversification process undertaken by the network, in recent years we have acquired shares in two Italian companies specialised in commodity trading:
NON-FERROUS METALS INTERNATIONAL TRADER
Since 2015, following the acquisition of a minority stake, we’ve been proud partners of Gruppo Cauvin.
Cauvin Metals is Italy’s leading non-ferrous metals trader, handling about 130,000 tons/year of primary aluminium, alloys, lead, and zinc.
Active in Italy, Europe, North Africa, and Central America, it oversees the entire trading process: sourcing, logistics, finance, and hedging on the London Metal Exchange.
WORLDWIDE TRADING AND LOGISTICS OF ENERGY AND RAW MATERIALS
In early 2018, with our partner Cauvin Metals, we acquired Saif Spa and its Turkish subsidiary Saif Energy.
Founded in 1982, Saif trades petroleum products (petcoke, coal, anthracite), alternative fuels, and biomass.
Beyond trading across Europe, Africa, the Americas, and Asia, Saif manages logistics storage and distribution by land and sea for about half its volumes, up to the end user.
