Supplying the resources that power and build economies.
Meridian Resources sources, supplies and delivers energy, chemicals, metals and agricultural products to industry across the world's major markets.
At the centre of global supply.
Refineries, power plants, manufacturers and food processors depend on a steady flow of raw materials. Our role is to keep that flow moving.
We connect producers with the customers who need their products, across the full supply chain. Our network of producers, refiners, end-users, shipowners, inspectors and banks lets us move commodities from where they are produced to where they are consumed, efficiently and responsibly.
Diversified across the commodities that matter.

Our teams bring deep expertise in commodities, shipping, trade finance and operations. Decisions are made close to the market, by people who know the product and the customer.
Relationships across the supply chain.
Our strength lies in the depth of our relationships. We work with trusted partners at every stage, so each transaction is backed by people who know the product and the route.
