What we trade

Four metals.
Depth over breadth.

Base metal trading rewards specialists. Sinogiant trades only what the desk knows cold — from origination through delivery into China.

Copper

Cathode, concentrate and scrap, LME-grade and cleared for China's smelters.

Nickel

Briquette, matte and pig-iron feedstock for stainless steel and battery materials.

Aluminium

Primary ingot, extrusion billet and scrap for rolling mills and profile extruders.

Iron Ore

Fines, lump and pellets, benchmarked to Platts IODEX 62% Fe.

The China market

Where the metal is used.
We trade close to it.

China refines more than half of the world's copper and aluminium, and imports more iron ore and nickel feedstock than any other market. Sinogiant is built around that demand.

Cargoes are sourced from mines, smelters and scrap yards worldwide and delivered directly to mills, foundries and manufacturers across China — cleared, financed and on spec.

Responsible trading

Trading with standards,
not just volume.

Physical commodities move through real mines, real smelters and real ports. We hold every link in that chain to the same bar.

E

Environmental

Suppliers and smelters are screened against tailings, emissions and responsible-sourcing standards before a cargo is booked.

S

Social

Labour and safety practices at source facilities are reviewed on a regular basis, with no sourcing from conflict-affected or high-risk sites.

G

Governance

Sanctions and anti-money-laundering screening on every counterparty, with trades structured to meet Hong Kong and China compliance requirements.
