CONSULTANCY SERVICES

An impartial analytical approach is essential to the philosophy with attention to detail in regards to data analytics, either government or industry statistics, published data published by companies or organizations or, above all, direct contact with industry representatives.

MerCurio Continental also provides occasional collaboration with other related consultants who may have additional expertise, such as logistic analysis, or to address larger consulting projects that require a team effort to complete when deadlines are tight.

Our company combines technical knowledge of steel and minerals, processing, and specification requirements with an intimate knowledge of the industrial minerals markets acquired over many years of involvement in the industrial minerals sector.

STEEL

Steel is an essential part of the modern economy and is strongly associated with economic growth and industrialization. It is used in all areas from automotive, construction and manufacturing to healthcare and infrastructure. Nevertheless, today’s steel industry faces a changing environment, with new opportunities and challenges. MerCurio Continental can provide you with the commercial and technical expertise you need to make your business successful.

Trading of high-quality steel safely and cost-effectively is key to succeed in today’s highly competitive and complex steel markets.
