M.I.S. Commodities

What M.I.S. Commodities does

M.I.S. Commodities is a privately held international commodity trading firm founded in 2009, operating through dual Swiss and U.S. legal entities (M.I.S. Commodities S.A. in Geneva and Bach, and M.I.S. Commodities Ltd. in Stamford, CT). The company markets and trades soft agricultural commodities — pulses, corn, rice, soybeans, sugar, and wheat — connecting producers to global buyers, and provides hedging advisory particularly in sugar. A second trading vertical covers energy products (coal, oil, gas) sold to major refineries worldwide.

Beyond physical trading, M.I.S. operates an Oil and Gas Services and Equipment division that provides project management, engineering design, equipment fabrication, and site installation for petroleum production and gas processing, plus aftermarket parts. The technology stack is described as a commodity trading and logistics platform; no proprietary software, AI, or digital tooling is disclosed.

The revenue model is transaction-fee based across both commodity verticals, supplemented by professional services revenue from the equipment division. GTM is direct enterprise B2B sales leveraging a veteran trading team's relationships in energy and food sectors, with no disclosed marketing channels, partnerships, certifications, or named customer logos. The firm employs 11–50 people, has no disclosed funding rounds or institutional ownership, and is not publicly listed.
