A long term approach

AQUIS views Physical trading as a long-term business. Investment in and access to key physical assets around the country and globe is central to our business model. Management of key supply chains gives us a business advantage while demonstrating our commitment to the territories (mainly Gauteng) in which we operate.

Run by local management, our representatives are highly attuned to the regions in which they operate; our people are encouraged to take the initiative in spotting opportunities and opening up new areas of supply and demand.

We believe in the importance of responding to market needs rather than trying to shape them. The ability to do so rests on the strength of the partnerships that we build and the passionate interest that each trader takes in his or her area of expertise.

Our cultural diversity, and the many connections between our Gauteng MVA* partners and the markets they serve, provides a vast resource of detailed information, which we integrate into a global picture of shifting trends.

AQUIS' approach is to respond quickly and precisely to the customer's requirements - NO WASTE OF TIME.

The impact on the global economy is a smoothing out of the peaks and troughs in commodity supply and demand.

Private ownership enables us to make rapid decisions as well as to take long-term views on new markets and opportunities.

Supporting our customers and suppliers often means providing services beyond our core business of sourcing and supplying commodities.

AQUIS currently only trades in Cement. In future it intends trading in refined products, fuels, ores, concentrates and refined metals.
