The company
Product at the right specification, packed so it survives the journey, and shipped so it clears the discharge port without sitting on demurrage. We handle all three.
Regular access to drummed and bulk bitumen from the Arabian Gulf, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Egypt, through associates in each origin — including blending capability for grades that refineries do not produce.
Every shipment is monitored by SGS, Intertek, Geochem or an equivalent inspection house — for the product specification and for the condition of the drums at the time of loading.
Drums selected to suit the origin and the handling the cargo will take. Breakbulk or containerised, with the port-side coordination that direct-delivery cargo demands.
Products
Bitumen in its principal grades and forms, alongside road construction materials, paraffin wax and cement.
Sourcing
Each origin has its own strengths, its own seasonality and its own paperwork. Knowing which one suits a given order is most of the job.
The largest producer of penetration bitumen in the region and our biggest source for drummed bitumen, with prompt shipment across various grades.
Saudi Aramco produces 60/70 in bulk; our associates in Jeddah and Dammam blend and drum other grades, cutbacks and emulsions from it.
Blending companies here work imported bulk 60/70 into different penetration grades, cutbacks and emulsions for re-export. We buy cutbacks and emulsions from the UAE regularly.
The largest source of drummed and bulk bitumen in North Africa, with ports on both sides of the Suez canal and COMESA certificates of origin available.
We will come back with origin options, packing, a shipment mode and an indicative timeline.
