Lasalle International

What Lasalle International does

LaSalle International Inc. is a privately held, diversified multinational founded in 2001 and headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware, with additional operational offices in Chatsworth (California), Zurich (Switzerland), and Abuja (Nigeria), plus active mining operations in Kenya and Uganda. Across more than 30 US states and 25 other countries, the company operates at least nine distinct verticals: commodity trading (crude oil and petroleum by-products, precious and non-precious metals, agricultural goods, industrial machinery, construction materials, medical equipment); oil & gas exploration and project management services; mining and mineral processing for lithium, gold, magnesium, manganese, graphite, titanium, ferroalloys, nickel and copper; infrastructure development (roads, bridges, water treatment, ports, airports); environmental remediation; waste-to-energy; nuclear services (radioactive waste processing, medical/industrial radioisotope production); logistics and transportation (including VLCC/ULCC crude shipping and heavy load salvage); and real estate/community development. Revenue is generated through commodity trading transaction fees, professional engineering and project management services, import/export facilitation, and industrial machinery sales, all on quote-based, project-specific pricing with no public rate cards.

The company's stated proprietary technology centers on a magnesium-based fuel cell that claims self-recharging indefinite operation through magnesium oxidation/reduction cycles and is modularly scalable from 5-watt to 20-megawatt output, plus a hydrogen fuel cell system using proprietary membrane electrolyzers for low-pressure real-time H2 production. These technologies are claimed to be supported by an in-house R&D team of 15 PhD scientists with 15 years of atomic and nuclear research experience. The company also holds exclusive distribution rights for the Accell Clean protein-based surfactant portfolio (SWA, DPP, SBR) developed by Advanced BioCatalytics Corporation and its subsidiary Oilfield Remediation LLC, used for oil spill and hydrocarbon remediation. The go-to-market approach is enterprise field sales and joint venture partnerships, targeting oil & gas operators, mining companies, government agencies, and infrastructure developers directly, with distribution through global commodity trading networks and regional partners in the Middle East and Africa. A wholly-owned subsidiary, Salvage Bay Corporation (acquired 2003), provides internet-based communication systems for the recycling and dismantling industry.
