Nickel

Commodities · Metals

Nickel units for stainless steel and battery supply chains.

Nickel cathodes, briquettes, ferronickel and nickel pig iron for stainless steel producers, alloy makers and battery materials.

Overview

A market reshaped by new supply.

Nickel demand is driven by stainless steel and, increasingly, by battery cathode materials. New supply sources and policy measures have changed price dynamics and made origin and quality documentation more important than ever.

We match buyers with suitable nickel units depending on the application, from Class 1 metal for alloys and batteries to ferronickel and NPI for stainless steel.
