Simportex Limited was started on the 4th November 1964 trading in textiles and then soft commodities. Within 6 years, Simportex Ltd was supplying 70% of the sugar to Nepal after kind support from the Nepalese government and their importers.

Simportex began dealing in metals during the 1980’s and since then has been trading in primary non-ferrous metals, but also still active in other such areas such as cotton and wool, textiles, crystals etc.

However, with our excellent experience in trading in metals, Simportex Ltd has built up good rapports with various government bodies, and has led to us supplying to India, Bangladesh, Pakistan in addition to other public limited and private companies.

Due to our dealings and relationships with the trade community and rising success, Simportex Ltd was initiated as an associate member of the London Metal Exchange in 1996. This has led to strong support from fellow associates whilst trading in Europe as both suppliers and consumers.
