Fueling Growth, One Trade at a Time
Built around the physical reality of commodities.
Gaofeng combines commercial trading, material evaluation, physical preparation, market access and transaction execution to manage specialised commodities across the physical supply chain.
Our capabilities are developed around the practical requirements of each transaction — from understanding the material and establishing its commercial value, to coordinating processing, pricing, logistics and final settlement.
Material Evaluation & Assay
Understanding the material before the transaction.
For secondary, recycled and complex materials, value depends on more than headline commodity prices.
Gaofeng evaluates material characteristics, composition and recoverable metal content to establish a commercially workable basis for each transaction. Our Singapore operations provide capabilities for material preparation and preliminary evaluation, supported by independent laboratory and refinery assays where required.
