Beijing, China

Opened in 1982 at The Exhibition Center Hotel, our Beijing office was the first representative office of a foreign metal trading company since the end of The Cultural Revolution in 1976.

Since opening, the office has changed location as staff levels changed or as technology advanced. Early business focused on the minor metals and ferro-alloys.

The principal trading partners were the two main Chinese non-ferrous entities China Nonferrous and Minmetals.

As China evolved through the 80’s and 90’s we diversified our range of Chinese partners to include a range of private and state owned provincial entities and today services a broad customer base.
