Balli is among the world’s largest privately owned independent commodity traders. Headquartered in the United Kingdom and using a global network of offices, the Group has consolidated sales exceeding US$1billion.

Our culture is defined by our unwavering commitment to our trading partners and our employees. Together with our affiliated companies, we employ over 2000 people worldwide.


We specialise in the trading of primary, industrial and consumer commodities, including steel, non-ferrous metals, chemicals and agricultural products.

The Group’s trading success has been supported by an active project, structured and commodity finance team providing finance solutions, sourcing, logistics support and risk management to our trading partners.



The metals industries are going through one of their strongest periods since World War II, as a result of booming demand in China and economic recovery in many regions of the globe. Steel production exceeded 1.2 billion tonnes in 2009. Aluminum is also a strong performer with production exceeding 37 million tonnes.


Balli provides efficient coverage to our global customer base through an extensive network of trading hubs, offices and subsidiaries.


Balli is a customer-focused organization, offering products and services to the metals, chemicals and agricultural industries.


Balli is able to offer its client base an independent and objective view of the best sourcing options for their requirements and supplies products from a wide range of producers, unlike mill-owned traders who usually source from a single supplier.
