About
A trading company built for markets that punish improvisation.
Who we are
ZBT was formed to trade physical commodities in markets where performance risk is the real risk. Cargoes move. Prices move. What should not move is whether the counterparty does what it said it would.
The name is a coordinate. Where the Equator crosses the Greenwich Meridian, at 0°N 0°E, a single buoy holds position in the Gulf of Guinea — the point where the map begins and every other position is measured from. It is where we start, and everything we supply from and ship to connects back to it.
We take positions we can verify and structures we can fund, and we decline the rest. That discipline is the product.
Africa first. We are expanding methodically across the continent — one reliable cargo, one verified counterparty at a time.
Principles
We hold position
We do what the contract says, when it says. Counterparties should be able to navigate by us.
Anchored in Africa
Based in Sandton, Johannesburg, with working relationships across Southern and West Africa and the Gulf.
Everything measured
Inspection at loading, verified counterparties, disciplined structures. From the origin, everything else is measurable.
