The steel trading arm of Alkagesta, Alkavex, conducted a series of business development visits and meetings with leading steel manufacturers, trading and processing companies, and industry representatives in Tangshan and Tianjin as part of ongoing commercial development activities in China.
Bayram Bayramli, China Business Developer at Alkagesta, led the engagements, which included meetings with steel manufacturers, processing companies, and industry associations across one of China’s most important steel corridors — providing direct insight into production capabilities, supply chain infrastructure, and international trade opportunities.
Tangshan and Tianjin together represent one of China’s most significant steel production and export corridors, and the engagements further strengthened the relationships underpinning Alkavex’s sourcing and trading activities across the region.
Alkavex is a Malta-based joint venture between Alkagesta and Navex SAS, a French steel trading company, in which Alkagesta holds a majority stake. With an initial focus on semi-finished and finished steel products sourced primarily from China, Alkavex serves customers across West and East Africa, combining market expertise, logistics capabilities, and trade finance solutions to support growing regional demand across construction, manufacturing, and infrastructure development.
