Company

Trading group with history

Petersen Matex is a synonym for experience in the international trading business.

Our roots go back to trading operations in Brazil in the first half of the 20th century.

Based on this experience, our desire to expand, and our professional commitment towards our customers, we have grown into an intercontinental group of companies.

Under the umbrella of the parent company in Switzerland, the companies of the Petersen Matex Group in Germany, the Netherlands, Poland and Spain operate as independent trading companies.

Through our global partner network, we cover key international markets, including the Middle East, Africa, Southeast Asia and South America.

The international presence of the Petersen Matex Group reflects our strategic approach to the international trade and business arena:

We see ourselves as a global organisation and want to grow further into new markets with our customers, suppliers and partners. To this end, we place the entire Group’s know-how and our expertise in trading and commodity financing, which has grown over many decades, at their disposal – today and in the future.
