About Us

Noden International is a privately owned commodities trading business that was set up in 2008 by a team of industry professionals with more than 60 years of combined trading experience in the commodities sector. The business initially traded in finished steel products but as the team grew, the trading department expanded to encompass ferrous raw materials and non-ferrous metal raw material ranges.

The team is headed up by David Rawlings, holding more than 38 years relevant industry experience, having held senior trading roles and lead the desks of very large multi-national commodity traders, with masters qualifications obtained in steel derivatives which introduced paper trading in ferrous scrap and rebar futures.

All Noden’s employees hold graduate or post-graduate degrees, combined with knowledge gained from their time in industry, having an extensive database of contacts from which to draw from.

Noden International trades primarily as principle, but on occasion work as exclusive agents, using their depth of experience to open export markets with particular focus in the MENA regions.

Noden’s business scope spans four continents, with liaison offices in most of the major global trading hubs for both raw materials and finished steel products.

Noden works with a number of finance banks, mostly notably NatWest Bank, Nationwide, Barclays, and Habib Zurich.
