A raw material with a future
Paper and pulp are among the few raw materials that regrow, recycle and replace fossil materials — in packaging, in hygiene, increasingly in textile fibres and construction. Modern mills produce from managed forests, cover a growing share of their energy needs from biomass and run water in closed loops. We trade virgin and recycled grades alike — and with recycled polymers we keep plastics in the loop, too.
Direct mill relationships — worldwide
We work directly with leading manufacturers: sourcing with a focus on South America, Asia and Europe, selling across Europe, the Caucasus and Central Asia. First-hand capacity, first-hand quality, prices that hold their own in the market: value on both sides of every deal.
Mills want to produce and sell ex works, on schedule. Converters want advice, on-time delivery and payment terms. In between lie financing, logistics, customs and risk. That is exactly the part we take on: offtake secured for mills, supply secured for customers, in every market phase.

Partner with us →For customers
We build partnerships that outlast market cycles. For us, trading is more than buying and selling: we structure every transaction end to end — the right source, the right financing, the best route, delivered on time.
Sourcing
A network built over many years finds what no catalogue offers: the right product for the right purpose — backed by mill audits, sampling and hard specifications.
Financing
Letters of credit, deferred payment terms, structures shaped around the deal: we bridge producer and buyer — so no shipment fails for lack of liquidity.
Logistics & freight tenders
Logistics is in our DNA. Ocean, rail, road, air or multimodal — we tender freight, negotiate rates and steer the chain right to the ramp, transshipment and warehousing included. Fast, cost-efficient, data-driven.
Customs & documents
Even complex transactions run on watertight documents: export, import, preferential origin, letters of credit — expertise, digitalised processes and an international partner network behind every file.
Risk management
Currency, default, transport, quality: every risk is identified and actively managed, deal by deal — clear rules instead of blanket surcharges.
Technical support
Application questions, specifications, claims: our team supports you technically and administratively — fast, reliable, in your language.
Tell us what you're moving — we'll map the route.
Get in touchFor manufacturers
You run the mill. We open the markets: Europe, the Caucasus and Central Asia — with our own sales team, and with SCT as your single counterpart.
One counterpart
You sell to SCT — one contract, secured payment, full transparency on where your goods go. The offtake risk in the market is ours.
Predictable volumes
Annual and quarterly contracts instead of spot roulette: volumes you can build budgets on.
Market feedback & research
Regular reports and research from the markets: prices, trends, opportunities — straight to your desk.
Administrative & technical support
Hands-on support in your markets — claims handling included, in the language of your customers.
Mill net in focus
Together we optimise your mill net: lower logistics costs, shorter transit times, the right lot sizes — more net per tonne for your mill.
Clear market rules
Firm agreements on which products go to which markets and customers — no price pressure from your own partner, no channel conflict.
Personal service. Digital strength.
The best of both worlds: dedicated people who run your order from first enquiry to final delivery — and digital processes that keep everything fast, precise and secure. Status, documents, shipments: in real time in our portal, or on whichever channel suits you.
Behind the scenes, our processes run digitally from end to end — efficient, reliable, traceable. Customers see it first-hand: through our portal.
