An international trade and advisory platform operating across energy, metals, timber and global commodities — structured for origination, sourcing and cross-border execution from a European base.
Unisphere Overseas is a private international trading and advisory platform — five named verticals and a dedicated strategic advisory practice, operated under a single execution discipline.
Activities span commodities trading, palm oil, steel, timber and energy, with corridors running between Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, Africa and Asia.
Execution is the work. Sourcing, structuring, freight, documentation, customs and counterparty diligence — the parts of a cross-border transaction where things actually have to happen.
Behind Unisphere Overseas is a multidisciplinary team with decades of hands-on experience across international trade, freight, procurement, commodities and physical commodity flows.
That operational background is why we work the way we do — named counterparty only. No proprietary positions. Every transaction has an end-buyer before it has a price.
Unisphere is structured as a holding platform: five named verticals operating under one operational discipline. We originate, structure, coordinate and execute physical trade — and we advise where the trade has not yet been written.
Direct participation in physical flows of metals, timber, palm oil, energy products and general commodities — on a structured, named-counterparty basis.
Direct sourcing relationships with named mills, refiners and producers across the African, Asian, North and South American origins we serve.
Coordination of industrial supply chains for end-users requiring continuity of origin, specification and documentation across multiple jurisdictions.
Opening commercial channels in markets where institutional buyers cannot easily reach producers — or producers cannot easily reach institutional buyers.
End-to-end transactional execution: contract, freight, documentary chain, customs, settlement — under one operational accountability.
Each vertical operates with its own counterparty network, technical specification and commercial logic. Together they sit under a single operational platform — one address, one standard of conduct, one documentary discipline.
Commodity origination, structured trade and cross-border execution on physical flows where the platform takes operational responsibility from origin to destination.
Crude, refined and palm-kernel grades sourced from named mills on documented chains of custody. Direct counterparty access to producers in Asia; identified end-buyers only.
Industrial supply of finished and semi-finished steel products to fabricators, distributors and construction principals operating where reliable origin is the constraint.
Forestry-grade hardwood, softwood and processed timber sourced on documented chains of custody. Elevated industrial supply — never speculation, never anonymous origin.
Coordination on energy cargoes — crude, refined products, biofuel feedstocks, thermal and metallurgical coal — structured through identified counterparties only. No proprietary positions; no open-book exposure.
Strategic advisory is the platform's most senior function. Where a transaction has not yet been structured, where a market has not yet been opened, where a counterparty has not yet been identified — advisory is where the work begins.
Confidential mandates on market access, trade structuring, strategic sourcing, geopolitical intelligence and cross-border execution — delivered to principals, institutional buyers and government counterparties who require a discreet operational partner rather than a vendor.
The platform is operationally present in markets the institutional middle does not reach. Origin geographies, frontier corridors, and the documentary regimes that connect them.
The platform participates in physical commerce only where it can accept end-to-end responsibility for the transaction. The six functions below are not outsourced; they are the operational spine of the house.
Identification of cargoes, counterparties and corridors where the platform can add structural value — not commission spread.
Direct mill, refiner and producer relationships across the verticals — named, documented, on file.
Commercial and contractual architecture: terms, instruments, financing, mitigation of counterparty and country risk.
Bulk and container freight, terminal handling, customs clearance — coordinated against named windows.
Bills of lading, certificates of origin, surveys, analyses, sustainability documentation. The documentary chain is part of the cargo.
UCP-600 instruments, Incoterms 2020 framework, escrow arrangements where structurally appropriate. Closing the loop, cleanly.
A short corporate film. The platform — its disciplines, its geographies, its principles — presented as we operate it.
Inquiries are read directly by the platform principals in Europe. Every submission is reviewed and responded to personally.
