Wilson International

What Wilson International does

Wilson International is a global commodity trading house founded in April 1981 and headquartered in Singapore, operating as the international trading arm of AM International Holdings, a USD 2 billion diversified multinational group with a 60+ year legacy across India, Southeast Asia, and the UK. The company focuses on the cross-border movement of bulk commodities across four core product categories: Fertilizers and Raw Materials (Urea, DAP, MAP, NPK, MOP, SOP, Sulphur, Phosphoric Acid), Energy Products (Naphtha, Fuel Oil, coal), Industrial Chemicals and Minerals (Quick Lime, Limestone, Gypsum, Bauxite, Manganese Ore, Chrome Ore), and Petrochemicals (Linear Alkyl Benzene, Normal Paraffin). It generates revenue primarily through transaction-fee-based commodity trading, capturing margins from global price differentials and supply-chain efficiency rather than from disclosed pricing models or proprietary technology platforms.

The company serves enterprise clients and government entities across South Asia, ASEAN, North Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and parts of Africa, with a relationship-driven, enterprise-field-sales go-to-market motion executed through eight offices in Singapore, Dubai, Geneva, London, China, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Vietnam, supported by wholly-owned trading subsidiaries in Singapore, Switzerland, Malaysia, UAE, India, and Vietnam. Wilson International differentiates through owned logistics capacity — a fleet of four Supramax Bulk Carriers (MV AM Ocean Pride 2003, MV AM Ocean Silver 2005, MV AM Ocean Star 2006, MV AM Ocean Pearl 2011) held through 100% subsidiaries — and through longstanding strategic partnerships with major counterparties including ADNOC, SABIC, Sinochem, RCF, BCIC, AICL, Korea Zinc, and Shell Malaysia. Core technology is not publicly disclosed and there is no API, mobile application, or AI/ML capability referenced in the available data.
