Since more than 20 years I am working in trading and sales of commodities. Main focus has been sale and trading of the solid fuels coal and coke. With respect to coal, I would like to emphasize on sale of coking coal and PCI as well as thermal coal. In addition, I have been active in other markets of raw materials as the market for industrial minerals.
I have a broad network, in particular with customers of the steel industry as well as utilities and municipalities. I know the customers in Germany, Austria, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary.
I built this network during my career with mining companies and trading houses in Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and the Czech Republic.
As Commercial Director of New World Resources Plc. (NRW) and OKD, s.a. (OKD) I was responsible for the sale of OKD’s coking coal and thermal coal production of approx. 8 million tonnes per year. These coals have been sold to customers in the Czech Republic and surrounding countries.
I built new markets. For RWE Supply & Trading GmbH, I built sales in the German market as well as a trading business out of South Africa and within India.
