VIORA TRADING · THE GROUP
Viora Trading buys, sells and supplies commodities across energy, chemicals and minerals. Our specialist businesses bring product knowledge and logistics together to execute physical trade.
ONE GROUP. FOUR SPECIALIST BUSINESSES.
Energy · Chemicals · Mining · Logistics & Maritime
THE STRENGTH OF THE GROUP
Viora Trading is the group’s commercial centre. We purchase commodities from producers and suppliers and sell to industrial customers, bringing product specifications, commercial terms and delivery requirements into one transaction.
Our energy, chemicals, mining and logistics businesses contribute specialist expertise. The group provides a shared commercial direction—from evaluating an offer to fulfilling a supply agreement.
Align specifications, available supply, required volumes and intended use before developing the offer.
Consider pricing, payment, delivery responsibilities and the practical cost of reaching the buyer.
Execute purchases and sales through a defined loading, documentation and delivery plan, supported by the relevant Viora businesses and service partners.
THE VIORA PORTFOLIO
Each business brings sector expertise. Viora Trading leads the group’s purchasing, sales and commercial relationships.
VIORA TRADING
01 / ENERGY
Petroleum products and hydrocarbon feedstocks for distributors, industrial users and supply partners.
Connect product sourcing with specifications, loading arrangements and the buyer’s supply cycle. Feedstock opportunities begin with an assessment of composition and end-use requirements.
02 / CHEMICALS
Industrial chemicals, solvents and raw materials, with sourcing shaped by application, grade and handling needs.
Assess suitable grades, product documentation, packaging and delivery requirements for manufacturing, processing and other industrial applications.
03 / MINING
Mineral purchasing and sales, with commercial terms shaped by assays, available quantities, processing requirements and delivery economics.
Start with grade, assay information, available volume and delivery basis. Develop buyer engagement around the material’s characteristics and the practical route to market.
04 / LOGISTICS & MARITIME
Freight forwarding, inland transport and maritime services that connect origins, gateways and final destinations.
Bring road, rail, sea and air options into the delivery plan, alongside customs coordination, cargo handling, storage and maritime support as required by the engagement.
VALUE ACROSS THE TRANSACTION
Cost, timing, documentation and delivery all affect whether a trade works. We bring these considerations together while the opportunity is being developed.
Plan around the delivered requirement.
Whether the requirement is a single product or several industrial inputs, the starting point is what the operation needs, where it is needed and when it must arrive.
Turn product availability into a market opportunity.
Develop a sales route around the actual characteristics of the material, the consistency of supply and the buyers equipped to use it.
Connect operational capability to trade.
Transporters, terminals and specialist service providers contribute at different stages. A practical commercial plan makes those handovers clear.
PHYSICAL COMMODITY TRADING
A workable trade starts with a defined product, an agreed price and a clear route to delivery. We assess supply, negotiate purchases and structure sales around the customer’s specification, quantity and receiving requirements.
Spot orders and recurring supply each need clear responsibilities for quality, payment, documentation and movement. These are part of the commercial agreement from the outset.
VIORA TRADING / REGIONAL REACH
With bases in South Africa and Mozambique, our commercial reach extends across Southern, Central and East Africa—from Angola and the DRC to Kenya and the markets further south.
We assess sourcing and routing around the opportunity: the origin of the product, the receiving market and the gateway that makes commercial sense.
