Our Approach

We source, store and transport copper products while providing sound risk management solutions. We responsibly source raw materials and refined metals from smelters and companies worldwide.

Copper, with the chemical symbol Cu, is a reddish-brown solid metal known for its excellent electrical conductivity, malleability, and ductility. It has a high melting and boiling point, density, and is corrosion-resistant due to the formation of a protective oxide layer. Copper is a key element in electrical applications, forming alloys like brass and bronze. Its chemical properties include multiple oxidation states, and it is characterized by its atomic structure with a partially filled d-subshell. The metal's versatility and unique characteristics contribute to its extensive use in various industries.

Star has extensive experience and capabilities in transporting metals and raw materials from origin to wherever our customers need them.

This allows us to propose delivery solutions that suit the interests of our suppliers and customers, and connect supply with demand at a global level.
