Global trade rewards one quality above all others: reliability. TFI Group operates as an international trading house across four commodity spheres — foodstuff, building materials, steel raw materials and industrial machinery — connecting producers and buyers with contracts that hold, specifications that match the shipment, and logistics arranged under the Incoterms the deal requires, from FOB at the load port to CIF at destination.
Foodstuff Trading: Dried Fruits Without Additives
TFI Group trades quality foodstuff with a specialty in dried fruits — naturally dried, delicious, and supplied without any additives: no added sugar, no sulfites, no preservatives, no artificial colors. Just fruit, dried to preserve its natural sweetness and nutrition. Every foodstuff consignment is handled with clean documentation — origin, lot, moisture and grading — so importers, wholesalers and food producers receive exactly the product contracted, ready for retail packing or further processing.
Building Materials: Rebar
Construction runs on schedule only when its steel does. TFI Group trades reinforcement bar (rebar) in standard grades, diameters and bundle configurations, sourced from qualified mills with mill test certificates accompanying every lot. From single-project quantities to recurring supply programs for contractors and distributors, deliveries are structured around site schedules — because rebar arriving late costs far more than rebar itself.
Steel Raw Materials: Slab and Billet
For rolling mills and re-rollers, TFI Group trades the primary semi-finished steels that feed production:
- Steel slab flat semi-finished input for hot-rolling into plate, sheet and coil
- Steel billet the long-product feedstock rolled into rebar, wire rod and sections
Chemistry, dimensions and tolerances are agreed against the buyer’s rolling program, with mill certificates and inspection options on every shipment. Whether the requirement is a spot cargo or a term contract, TFI Group manages the chain from mill allocation to vessel to discharge port.
Industrial Machinery Trading
TFI Group also trades industrial machinery — production machines and equipment for factories, sourced, inspected and delivered. Decades of first-hand industrial experience mean the group evaluates machinery as an operator, not a broker: condition, capability, spare-part availability and true production value are assessed before a machine is ever offered. Buyers get equipment that earns its keep; sellers get a serious, technically literate counterparty.
