Steel, aluminium, copper and alloys for infrastructure, construction and manufacturing, supplied from verified producers across the desk's origins.
Rebar, wire rod, billets, hot and cold rolled coil against the standard the project or mill specification calls for.
Ingots, billets and rolled products for manufacturing and construction supply chains.
Grade A cathodes and wire rod for electrical and industrial consumers.
Alloy grades contracted on chemical composition and the mechanical properties the end use requires.
Material certified by the producing mill, with independent inspection where the contract calls for it.
Pricing formulas referenced to published exchange benchmarks, or fixed for the contract period.
The desk contracts in its own name: a buyer holds one contract and one counterparty from signature to settlement, and a represented producer is paid by one counterparty rather than by each end buyer. Three contract forms cover most of the flow:
Metals are contracted on chemical composition, dimensional tolerance and mechanical properties, supported by the producing mill's test certificate. Independent surveyors verify specification and quantity at loading and at discharge, and the inspection scope is written into the contract before cargo moves — specifications are contractual, not aspirational. Documents travel under letters of credit or documentary collections, and settlement runs through the group's UAE banking infrastructure.
The desk sources from mills and established suppliers across Asia, the Gulf, Europe and Africa, and supplies construction, infrastructure and manufacturing buyers in the markets it covers. Counterparty onboarding — mutual know-your-counterparty and sanctions screening — happens once, at the start of the relationship, not per cargo. Market context for these products is covered in our market notes, and the group's compliance approach is set out under governance.
Other desks: fertilisers · petroleum products · gas · gold & precious.
Steel long and flat products, primary and semi-finished aluminium, copper cathodes and wire rod, and specified alloy grades. Cargoes are sourced from producers whose standards the desk has verified across its origins.
Contracted parameters typically cover chemical composition, dimensional tolerance and mechanical properties, evidenced by a mill test certificate. Every parameter is fixed in the contract and verified by independent surveyors at loading and at discharge.
Spot for a single cargo, term for multi-shipment contracts with agreed volumes and pricing formulas, and offtake for long-term commitments against production.
The desk contracts in its own name. Buyers deal with one counterparty from contract to settlement, and producers are paid by one counterparty rather than by each end buyer.
Send specification, volume, destination and target terms through the enquiry form or to sales@gidex.com. A costed offer covers price basis and incoterms, laycan, inspection scope, document set and payment structure.
Send specification, volume, destination and target terms — the desk quotes from verified producers across our origins.
One agreement opens the markets we cover. We verify production standards before we represent — that is what our buyers rely on.
