At ATLAS INTERCORP (“ATLAS”) our business development model is based on organic growth and strategic partnerships both for trading opportunities and asset origination. Our long term focus differentiates us because we align our activities on that basis, bringing them as market insight into the commodity sectors that are becoming increasingly interrelated. Equally, our presence throughout the value chain helps provide knowledge and identify the path for our continued growth. Partnerships with participants at global and local level have played a key role in our business to date and will undoubtedly continue to do so as we move forward.
The ATLAS business development team is led by seasoned experts predominately from the energy, mining, trading and finance sectors. They have extensive experience in the energy sector both in developed and emerging markets. Their skill is in recognizing and evaluating partnership based opportunities that are fundamental to the realization of our vision.
Origination
The ever-growing correlation between energy products, commodities and financial services represents opportunity for us. Our origination team coordinates all the physical and financial elements that enable the realization of large scale transactions anywhere along the supply chain. ATLAS operates across all commodities and all the potential markets and helps partners to meet their business objectives by providing access to adequate financial resources.
Partnership Investment
ATLAS can become an equity investor through joint ventures or a trading partner with long term off-take agreements. We have extensive experience in operating wholly or partially owned businesses in the salt production, copper and metals mining, and liquid storage terminals. Our technical expertise helps develop an asset and realize its potential. We combine our skills with those of the asset owner creating synergies that ultimately generate benefits for all. We maximize financial opportunities by looking at assets differently. We believe in partnerships. We commit to the relationship as much as to the asset itself.
Commodity Financing
ATLAS is willing to enter into agreements with energy and commodity producers that provide financing and will help bring products to market in a timely and controlled manner. We can help secure tailored funding to all segments of the market place. We also have extensive experience in mining and E&P financing support. Commodities prepayment facilities and working capital are available to our customers and we allocate our financial resources and technical expertise to support dedicated joint ventures.
Risk Management
ATLAS manages market, financial and operational risks associated with transporting commodities in significant volumes around the world. We aim to manage risks soundly across the spectrum. Our corporate culture stresses the values of accountability, responsibility and communication at all levels of the organization, and the people of ATLAS take those values seriously.
Operational Risk
We pay extraordinary attention to detail in ensuring the operational suitability of the vessels, barges, trailers and wagons that we use to transport commodities. Shipping, cargo management, loading and unloading is overseen by dedicated experts together with independent inspection companies. Products in storage and the storage assets themselves are continuously monitored. We aim to consistently reach the highest standards with regard to our safety, health, environment and quality.
