MMT is launching alumina trading

Multi Met Trading L.L.C. has begun trading smelter-grade alumina of Indian and Asian origin, extending a portfolio that already spans copper, nickel and precious metals.

The company will supply smelter-grade alumina (Al₂O₃) in bulk to primary aluminium producers, with cargo sizes and delivery terms agreed to suit customers’ discharge facilities and consumption schedules.

India and South East Asia together account for a substantial share of world alumina export capacity, with integrated bauxite-to-alumina operations supported by domestic bauxite reserves and captive power. Multi Met Trading sources from established refiners across the region, giving customers a consistent, well-documented product with full traceability from refinery to discharge port.

The routes from India and South East Asia to the Gulf are among the shortest in the seaborne alumina trade. Short transit times allow tighter scheduling and lower working capital tied up in transit, an advantage for smelters running to continuous feed requirements.

Global demand continues to grow with primary aluminium capacity, particularly in the Gulf, South East Asia and India, while bauxite export restrictions in several producing countries have reinforced the value of integrated, reliably supplied refinery output.

Specification is confirmed per contract. Every cargo is supported by a certificate of analysis from an independent inspector, with sampling and analysis at load and discharge to industry standard.

Pricing is on an index basis or as a percentage of the LME aluminium price, as customers prefer. Shipment is in bulk on CIF or CFR terms to nominated discharge ports, in cargo sizes from Handysize to Panamax.
