Diverse Expertise

Beyond specializing in base metals, KS&T companies are suppliers and traders in fuels, natural gas, crude oil, chemicals, freight and other commodities. KS&T-affiliated companies are part of the wider Koch group and include global businesses that operate in most industrial commodity sectors.

Commodities are integral to KS&T's businesses; that commitment is evident from the companies' long and active trading history. While some financial institutions' market coverage varies with global market cycles, KS&T companies are familiar with the cyclical nature of commodities both from trading and operating industrial assets.
