CWT Commodities has no intention to sell firm

Company maintains independence despite news of planned sale of two warehousing firms' sale

Singapore-based CWT Commodities Pte Ltd, a unit of CWT, is not for sale and is expanding warehouse operations including another facility in the United States, an official said on Friday.

"We are doing well so we do not have intention to sell (the company). Our intention is to keep it independent," Jennifer Tan, the company's manager for London Metal Exchange operations, according to a Reuters report.

News of the planned sale of Italian-based Pacorini Group's metals warehousing unit to trading and mining giant Glencore International had fuelled speculation other warehousing firms may follow, traders said.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
