Drum Bitumen

A part of the dynamic Richmond Group of Companies, Richmond Mercantile Limited F.Z.C. specialises in international trade of petroleum products, such as Bitumen (in drums and bulk) and Fuel Oil.

With offices in the U.K., Iran, U.A.E., Singapore, and China, and associates in India, and numerous countries in East Africa, Richmond Mercantile has a powerful network of professionals with in depth knowledge of the markets and sources in which they play an important role.

Richmond Mercantile is the largest seller of Drummed bitumen to China, and also supplies the markets of numerous countries of East and West Africa, India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Burma and Afganistan.

The Company ensures the quality of the packed bitumen by overseeing the entire process of procurement and supply, from the supply of steel to the manufacturing and filling of the drums, to the eventual loading of vessels. The company has the capability of manufacturing upto 250,000 MT per annum of drummed Bitumen in Iran, Egypt and Saudi Arabia, thereby ensuring efficient loading and prompt delivery of high quality drummed bitumen, a claim which the companies' competitors cannot make owing to them having to outsource the supply of drums.

Economies of scale, and the efficient network established by Richmond Mercantile, ensure that the companies' customers get the competitive prices and prompt delivery of high quality drummed bitumen.
