Founded in 2005 by commodity trading, trade finance, and chartering experts, Korel is a "Trading House" that is committed to provide sourcing solutions of raw materials for its clients in Milling, Feed, Steel and Energy Sectors. We supply grains, feedstuff and carbon to Black Sea, Mediterranean, Continental Europe and Far East markets.
People are used to picking products from shelves and shops but they rarely think how those products become available to them. (Magic?) But we, commodity traders, logistics experts, farmers, miners, seamen, factory workers, merchandisers, surveyors, crane operators and many other nameless people in the supply chain work 365 days 24/7 in order to make that happen. It sounds a bit strange way to make a living but as commodity traders at Korel, we don't know how to do anything else. We have been delivering on our promises to counterparties for over 2 decades, with more then 1000 bulk carrier vessels to several destinations. We will continue to do so, As God Wishes and Weather Permits.
