About us
HTL Commodities Group is a physical commodities trading company, sourcing, originating and trading fertilisers, industrial sulphur, metals & minerals across African and international markets.
The company was established in response to a growing need for dependable access to quality commodities, supported by the commercial and supply chain capabilities required to move them efficiently from origin to destination.
With strong foundations in Sub-Saharan Africa, HTL has developed an established network of service providers at the ports of Durban and Cape Town in South Africa, Walvis Bay in Namibia and Beira in Mozambique, alongside strategic locations elsewhere across the continent. This network supports the handling of both bulk and containerised cargo and provides HTL with access to key regional trade and logistics hubs.
Our approach combines local and international experience with an entrepreneurial, hands-on culture. We stay close to our counterparties, adapt to evolving opportunities and place long-term relationships and service excellence at the heart of the way we do business.
