It is commodity traders—not governments—that keep the world’s economies moving

Who We Are

About Gratus

Gratus Global is an institutional commodities firm specializing in the acquisition, commercialization, and distribution of strategic natural resources across energy, metals, agriculture, and water assets. Established in 2016, the company was built to deliver a higher standard of performance to global markets—where transparency, regulatory compliance, and operational discipline form the core foundation of every transaction.

We operate at the primary source level, engaging directly with refineries, mining operations, agricultural producers, and water asset owners. Our mandate is not brokerage—it is institutional execution. We bridge resource supply with global demand through structured capital deployment, logistics infrastructure, and financial-grade governance.
