Finance

Stemcor’s specialist trade and project finance team works with our bankers to offer customised finance packages to the steel industry.

Our structured trade finance agreements fund working capital requirements, including pre-production finance. Stemcor also facilitates the satisfaction of offset and countertrade commitments which arise when, upon winning a contract from an overseas country, the contractor pledges to counterbalance it with reciprocal trade or investment.

Stemcor’s special projects team draws upon the Group’s wide spectrum of services to develop investment proposals and joint venture partnerships. Our project finance agreements fund expenditure on capital assets. Our consultancy services include market analysis and research, business planning, project feasibility assessments and due diligence.

Stemcor’s specialist price risk management team employs a range of derivative tools to manage the Group’s exposure to physical market price fluctuations. It also offers a hedging service to external parties, through a joint venture with Deutsche Bank.
