About Us - The Business
Our Purpose
Alaska Metals AG fits into the traditional mould of a merchant, targeting producers and consumers of raw and finished products. We aim to help our trade partners achieve optimum prices in their day to day business with the careful use of market instruments, hedging strategies and logistical acumen.
Our Philosophy
As a privately-owned company, we are able to make swift and competitive trading decisions. This increases the ability of our customers and suppliers to plan for the future in the light of ever-changing prices and supply and demand fluctuations. As a merchant we are able to source material from various origins worldwide. This allows us flexibility, which in-turn can be passed on to our clients. We have to respond to their needs with speed and initiative in order to develop the long-term relationships that are the building blocks of our core business.
The world of commodities is a moveable feast that reacts rapidly to a vast range of information - political, financial, geographical, logistical, legal and incidental. We depend on the skill, experience and individual networks of our well established key personnel to garner and correctly interpret this information in order to meet these demands. We rely on our ability to recognise and respond promptly to changing market trends.
Alaska Metals AG proactively seeks new ways in which to achieve its goals and is always testing innovative or alternative ideas in order to create further opportunities for itself and its associates. The company is constantly on the lookout for new areas in which to deploy its expertise.
As the world grows smaller, we are increasingly called upon to share advice on hedging, financial, geographical or logistical strategies. However, Alaska Metals AG never forgets that its prime responsibility to the market is its reliability to perform.

Our Aims
The company endeavours to remain a long term partner to the trade. We realise the importance of managing inherent risk effectively. Each new trading partner is fully and summarily examined and assessed by our in-house risk management team, prior to completion of any initial business. In this way we strive to remove or smooth-out prospective obstacles in order to avoid potential difficulties at a later date.
Our Ethics
While it is obviously the objective of Alaska Metals AG to generate profit, the company also appreciates the importance of giving back to the community, particularly in those geographical areas where we are active. Alaska Metals AG is currently involved in the Tursunzade Lyceum project in Tajikistan, which, as an educational institution, accepts gifted children from every region of the country on passing entry examinations. The school enables them to fulfill their promise to the very best of their abilities.
