Clinker:
Clinker is the core ingredient in producing cement. Commonly 3 – 2.5mm in size, and produced by sintering limestone. Ametheus can source clinker from one of the largest traders of clinker in the Asia Pacific region supplying over 5 million tons of clinker annually.
Our exceptional performance and over twenty years of experience has allowed us to build strong partnerships with global cement manufacturers and end users. We trade Cement, Grey Clinker, White Cement, White Cement Clinker, Special Cement, Dry Mortar, SRC Cement, and SRC Clinker. We have progressively expanded our sources for clinker to offer the most competitive rates under both CFR and FOB terms.
Trade Flow:
We originate cement clinker from China, Vietnam, South Korea, Japan, Thailand, Taiwan, Malaysia, UAE, and India. We work with the leading cement producers such as Shanghai Conch, SsangYong, Taiheiyo, Asia Cement, TPI Polene, Vicem, Ultratech, Fujairah Cement, and gulf cement.
Our destination markets for cement clinker are South China, Philippines, Bangladesh, East and West African countries, and South America.
