Sichuan Metals & Minerals Imp. & Exp. Co., Ltd. (SCMMC) is an affiliate of Sichuan Foreign Trade Group. Founded in 1980 amid China’s reform and opening-up drive launched in 1978, the company started as a general trading enterprise. Its core business initially covered metals, minerals, chemicals, steel and related products, some of which were traded under restricted export quotas. SCMMC has long fulfilled its inherent mandate: supplying advanced manufacturing and testing equipment to large state-owned enterprises, helping small and medium-sized Chinese businesses build global vision and sustain overseas sales channels. At the same time, the company creates opportunities for international enterprises to explore and expand their footprint in inland China.

In 2001, the company underwent restructuring with a reduction in non-controlling state-held shares. Equipped with refreshed strategic vision and a more open business mindset, SCMMC has since expanded its scope beyond its traditional core lines, adding geosynthetic materials and the Metalking® series of metal processing machinery, among others. Leveraging its operational qualifications and diversified investment layout, the company has developed business models beyond pure commodity trading over the years. SCMMC has taken part in multiple domestic and overseas construction projects in Thailand, Dubai and mainland China, and holds investments in real estate, manufacturing facilities, and mineral resources such as coal and vanadium.

As a seasoned international trading firm, SCMMC has built robust import and export capabilities and obtained a full suite of professional qualifications. It has been awarded Customs “AA Grade Enterprise” status in China, enjoying expedited and streamlined customs clearance privileges. The company maintains sound financial health and an excellent credit record with banks, inspection authorities and customs administrations. It also enjoys a solid international reputation among partners and customers — all of which collectively strengthen our strengths and market competitiveness.

Guided by its business philosophy of creating value through service, SCMMC pursues diversified and broad cooperation built on long-term partnerships. The company’s vision is to develop into an integrated trading platform and deliver value to society.
