Industries & Markets

Industrial Markets & Applications

Our commodity focus is aligned with the raw material requirements of industrial value chains, particularly aluminium production, metallurgy and related manufacturing activities.

Industries We Focus On

01

Aluminium & Smelting

Primary aluminium production depends on technically defined raw materials at different stages of the value chain.

Bauxite serves as the principal ore for alumina refining, while smelter grade alumina is a key feedstock for primary aluminium production.

Carbon anodes, produced using suitable carbon materials including calcined petroleum coke, play an essential role in the aluminium electrolysis process.

Dachau Commodities focuses on sourcing and trading opportunities involving these material groups, subject to technical requirements and commercial feasibility.

Metallurgy & Metals

Metallurgical processes rely on raw materials with defined chemical and physical properties.

Depending on the industrial application, relevant parameters may include material composition, particle size, moisture, impurities and consistency of quality.

Our approach focuses on evaluating selected carbon and mineral materials against specific industrial requirements and commercial conditions.

03

Industrial Manufacturing

Beyond primary aluminium production, selected industrial raw materials may serve applications in manufacturing and processing industries.

Technical suitability, material specifications, quantity requirements and supply conditions determine whether a potential sourcing or trading opportunity can be considered.

We evaluate such opportunities individually rather than presenting an unrestricted global product catalogue.

Material Requirements & Commercial Evaluation

Industrial procurement decisions depend on the suitability of a material for its intended application and the commercial conditions of the proposed transaction.

To assess a potential sourcing or supply opportunity, the following information is particularly useful:

Material & Grade
The required commodity and technical specifications.
Quantity & Schedule
Indicative volumes and expected delivery periods.
Destination & Delivery Terms
The intended destination and preferred commercial delivery conditions.
Quality Documentation
Any applicable certificates, inspection requirements or technical documentation.

Each opportunity is subject to individual technical and commercial assessment. Product availability and transaction feasibility are not guaranteed.
