Energy Prducts

Oil & Gas products are materials derived from crude oil or natural gas as processed in refineries. Unlike petrochemicals, which are a collection of well-defined usually pure chemical compounds, petroleum products are complex mixtures.

Commodity Trading

We are one of the world’s largest diversified and vertically-integrated commodity producers, processors and traders. We market and distribute to a wide customer base that includes the industrial, automotive, construction, steel, power generation, oil and food processing industries. Our business is divided into three business segments: metals & minerals, energy products and agricultural products, as well as marketing & logistics.

Metals and minerals

A mineral is a naturally occurring substance that is solid and inorganic representable by a chemical formula, usually a biogenic, and has an ordered atomic structure. It is different from a rock, which can be an aggregate of minerals or non-minerals and does not have a specific chemical composition. There are over 4,900 known mineral species; over 4,660 of these have been approved by the International Mineralogical Association (IMA).

A wide range of agricultural seeds

Our agricultural products encompass grain (including wheat, corn and barley), oils/oilseeds (including soybeans and soft seeds), oil seed products (including edible oils and meals), cotton and sugar.

HainbergSwiss is a leading integrated commodity producer and marketer, operating worldwide.

Metals & Minerals

These businesses include copper, zinc & lead, nickel, ferroalloys, alumina & aluminium and iron ore production and marketing. We have interests in both controlled and non-controlled industrial assets that include mining, smelting, refining and warehousing operations.

Energy Products

These businesses cover industrial and marketing activities for coal and oil, including controlled and non-controlled coal mining and oil production operations, and investments in strategic handling, storage and freight equipment and facilities.

Agricultural Products

This business is focused on grains, oils & oilseeds, cotton and sugar. Agricultural Products is supported by both controlled and non-controlled storage, handling and processing facilities in strategic locations.

International Trade

New Trade Theory tries to explain empirical elements of trade that comparative advantage-based models above have difficulty with. These include the fact that most trade is between countries with similar factor endowment and productivity levels, and the large amount of multinational production (i.e., foreign direct investment) that exists. New Trade theories are often based on assumptions such as monopolistic competition and increasing returns to scale. One result of these theories is the home-market effect, which asserts that, if an industry tends to cluster in one location because of returns to scale and if that industry faces high transportation costs, the industry will be located in the country with most of its demand, in order to minimize cost.
