AME Gate trades commodities, such as crude oil, refined products, ores, concentrates and refined metals and provides the ships and facilities to store and transport them.

Physical trading is a long-term business. Investment in and access to key physical assets around the world is central to our business model. Management of ships, storage tanks, mines and other logistical assets gives us a business advantage while demonstrating our commitment to the territories in which we operate.

We believe in the importance of responding to market needs rather than trying to shape them. The ability to do so rests on the strength of the partnerships that we build and the passionate interest that each trader takes in his or her area of expertise.

Our cultural diversity, and the many connections between our local trading hubs and the markets they serve, provides a vast resource of detailed information, which we integrate into a global picture of shifting trends.

Private ownership enables us to make rapid decisions as well as to take long-term views on new markets and opportunities.

Supporting our customers and suppliers often means providing services beyond our core business of sourcing and supplying commodities.

Increasingly we are offering logistical transport as well as finance and other types of risk management to our customers.
