Powering industry
with metals

SEFE has an institutional metals trading platform that combines financial expertise, physical execution and logistics capabilities, underpinned by disciplined risk management. We actively warehouse price and supply risk across a broad range of base and precious metals essential to Europe’s industry and the energy transition. Through structured, capital-aware solutions, we support producers, consumers and trading counterparties with long-dated exposures, delivery flexibility and integrated cross-commodity strategies linking metals, energy and emissions markets.

Metals products

With our metals offering, we support producers, consumers, trading counterparties and strategic stakeholders, contributing to the strength of Europe's industrial base and the success of the energy transition. We trade metals on major global exchanges, including the London Metal Exchange (LME) and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME).

Our portfolio includes both base metals such as copper, nickel, tin, aluminium, zinc and lead and precious metals like silver, gold, platinum and palladium.

Metals services

Our metals trading and risk management solutions combine tailored financial structuring with physical execution and logistics capabilities. Leveraging our broader energy trading platform, advanced analytics and trading technology, we support producers, consumers and trading counterparties in managing price and supply risk, reducing earnings volatility and strengthening resilience across market cycles.

Tenor and capital-aware solutions

We offer customised over-the-counter (OTC) and exchange-traded solutions – including futures, options, swaps and structured products – tailored precisely to your risk profile, tenor requirements and commercial objectives.

Liquidity and pricing

With institutional-grade execution and access to deep liquidity, we deliver tight, transparent pricing and reliable market access, including in volatile market conditions.

Cross-commodity integration

We link metals with energy and emissions markets to deliver integrated strategies that optimise spreads, simplify execution and consolidate risk management within a single counterparty relationship.

Market intelligence

Our robust trading infrastructure, real-time analytics and forward-looking market insights enable informed decisions and proactive risk management.

Physical & structured
capabilities

SEFE’s metals business goes beyond pure financial execution. Our physical trading activities are fully integrated with risk management and logistics economics. This approach is rooted in an active trading mindset, combining market judgement with optionality in order to optimise risk, timing and value across market cycles.

Our physical trading activities are focused on meaningful, recurring volumes in order to foster enduring relationships with our customers.

We offer flexible delivery structures such as Ex Works, FCA, CIF, DAP, including warehouse-based delivery and inventory optimisation, built on long-term customer relationships.

We link physical logistics, financial markets and balance-sheet capacity to support both short-term flexibility and long-term strategic objectives.

We provide location and timing optionality to ensure full alignment with customer schedules.
