Falling trade barriers between countries has opened up many new opportunities. But still, trading increasingly remains a game of risk and relationships.

The Global Trade Practice is comprised of a group of professional managers. The organization is built on a pool of knowledge of steel business and worldwide contact with buyers, sellers and trading houses. Our aim is to add value in all activities undertaken during the courses of business development, to make the whole process satisfying for all. We focus hard on interpreting the needs of both buyers and sellers.

We have significant expertise in managing the following commodities:

• Steel
• Coal
• Iron Ore

Steel
The steel industry is bouncing back thanks to the growing infrastructure requirements in developing countries and much of the Asia-Pacific region. Climbing prices and ever growing but uneven demand makes sure that there is always an element of unpredictable deficit.

From electrical to construction to automotive and food, Major & Minor has had a significant experience in trade of all kinds of steel like:

• Mild Steel Billets & Blooms
• Mild Steel Plates
• Mild Steel Hot Rolled Coils
• Cold Rolled Steel
• Electrical Steel
• Galvanized Plain Coils and Corrugated Sheets
• Pre Painted Galvanized Coils
• Galvanized Pipes and Tubes
• Mild Steel Wire Rods in Coils
• Reinforcement Bars
• Stainless Steel
• Alloy Steels

Coal
Coal comes in two classes, depending on how it gets used. Metallurgical coal is used for making metals and metal alloys from ores while thermal coal is used for generating electricity.

Unfortunately, India isn't gifted when it comes to both these types of coals, as a result thermal coal is imported from Indonesia. On the other hand metallurgical coal is imported from Australia. Despite the imports, India still suffers a collective deficit of 45-to-50 million tons.

Major & Minor has elaborate arrangements with a mill in Russia for metallurgical coal and has a rich experience in coal trade.

Iron ore
With the onslaught of globalization and economic development, the infrastructure sector in India is witnessing a boom and off late India has emerged as a preferred destination for steel investors. These investments are further fuelled by availability of high-grade iron ore and infrastructure development.

This presents an unmatched opportunity to those who have steel as a focus in their growth plan. More than 50 companies have already announced to set up steel mill projects with 120 million tons collective capacity over the next 10 years.

Because we're based in India and deep into steel, Major & Minor is uniquely positioned to help with your iron-ore requirements.
