BLK is the Amazon of commodities & raw materials
BLK was born to address a two clear gaps that exists in the market: the absence of direct access by small and medium enterprises to worldwide producers of raw materials, commodities and industrial supplies; as well as the complete offline functioning of the upstream supply chain.
Every year, over 10 billion tons of raw materials are purchased and shipped around the world, worth trillions of dollars.
The problem? Before you or I can purchase them, their prices has inflated by x10.
Only a few parties have access to upstream supply chains: mainly banks, traders, brokers. Raw materials pass from hand to hand before reaching their final stage of distribution, with their price continuing to grow until they finally reach the retail shelf.
At BLK, we want to fix this. And we are doing it using the power of the internet, using the well-established approach of e-commerce and applying it to the sale, purchase and shipping of raw materials.
If you are a manufacturing business, a wholesaler, a retailer looking to optimise your supply chain or if you are a producer or a seller of raw materials or industrial supplies, BLK is the platform for you. You can search, filter and choose the materials you need, at their actual market price.
Digitalisation of commodity trading is not a question of if. It’s a question of when. Still wondering who we are? +
