Why Upstream
Innovation. Information. Intention.
- We are merchants who know that innovation, creativity and logic will prevail.
- We challenge our partners to redesign flows and standards of the trade and redraw the lines to assure our customers are empowered and successful.
- We are project oriented, with limited overhead so our success comes from our platform and a Risk Management approach that assures our clients’ products move from one end of the trade to the other.
- No middlemen (including us), or anyone arbitraging your trade – our fees are separate and clearly stated up front.
- Every possible market cost, charge, and tax is identified and accounted for; nothing is hidden. We charge for our services in a completely different way than any of our competitors. We bring all the cost savings to our customers’ bottom line.
- We coordinate all shipping logistics, quality inspection, control and management along the entire supply and export chain.
- We can arrange all necessary financing for any trade anywhere in the world.
