01 / Introduction

More than suppliers.
We are process partners.

Caucasus Metal Trading is a Georgia-headquartered trading house built by industry insiders. Our partners operate under exacting technical, logistical and commercial constraints. We know those constraints intimately, because we have worked on both sides of the table.

01
Two-Sided Expertise

Decades operating inside producers and consumers — we speak both languages fluently.

02
Process Knowledge

We match grade, fraction and chemistry to the customer's furnace, kiln or refractory recipe.

03
End-to-End Execution

Mine to milled fraction to delivered tonne — sourcing, logistics, financing, docs.

02 / Leadership

Built by operators,
not intermediaries.

Three co-founders. Seventy-plus years of combined experience inside mining, smelting, manufacturing, logistics and trade.
