Our History
Traxys was formed in 2003 with the merger of two well-known forces in the metals marketing industry: Sogem and Considar.
This merger combined the service, product, and geographical strengths of both companies.
With its roots dating back to 1919, Sogem was previously owned by Umicore and served as a marketing, distribution, and trading
group involved mainly in base metals and concentrates. Sogem primarily focused on serving Europe, Africa and Asia.
As a division of Arcelor, Considar specialized in serving the steel industry through the sourcing of ferro-alloys and other specialty
metals and focused primarily on the North American market. In 1997, Considar acquired the majority of Hochschild Partners LLC
and its significant zinc and lead activity.
In 2006, both Arcelor and Umicore sold a majority stake in Traxys to the management of Traxys in a buyout sponsored by two
pre-eminent private equity firms: Pegasus Capital Advisors and Kelso & Company. Subsequently, Resource Capital Funds became
a shareholder.
In July 2014, global alternative asset manager The Carlyle Group (NASDAQ: CG), together with affiliates of Louis M. Bacon, the
founder, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and principal investment manager of Moore Capital Management, LP, acquired a
majority interest in Traxys from Pegasus, Kelso and RCF. As part of the transaction, Traxys management increased its investment
stake in the company.
Traxys has become a global leader in financing, marketing, distribution and financial services for the mining, metals and minerals
industries. With 20 global locations, Traxys continues to add offices, create partner networks, and is actively focusing on business
development and investment in and with its customers.
