What we trade
Each desk is led by senior traders with deep category experience.
Trade and supply of crude oil, gasoline, diesel (EN590, ULSD), jet fuel (Jet A1), fuel oil, naphtha, LPG and LNG. We work with refineries, NOCs and end-buyers — structuring CIF, FOB and CFR contracts with independent inspection (SGS, Intertek, Bureau Veritas) and bank-instrument-backed performance.
Sourcing and supply of petrochemical feedstocks and derivatives — including sulphur, base oils and select polymer grades — for industrial buyers across the MENA region, Asia and beyond.
Global sourcing, offtake and international supply of crude helium, refined Grade-A (5.0 / 6.0) helium, liquid helium and industrial gases including nitrogen and argon. We service semiconductor fabs, MRI and cryogenics, fibre-optic, aerospace and balloon-gas channels with ISO containers, tube trailers and cryogenic dewars under long-term offtake and spot arrangements.
Selective export and re-export of premium passenger vehicles, SUVs, commercial fleets and certified armoured vehicles (B6/B7) — sourced from authorised European, Japanese and American channels and delivered to dealerships, government buyers and corporate fleets across MENA and Africa. Controlled goods are supplied only against end-user certification, destination screening and the export licences required in the jurisdictions of origin, transit and destination.
How we work with ministries, national oil companies and state buyers, and the institutional standards we hold ourselves to.
Sovereign & Government Engagement
MENA United Trading works directly with ministries of energy, national oil companies, sovereign buyers and state-owned utilities across MENA, Asia, Europe and the Americas. Our desk supports government-to-government tenders, strategic reserve build-outs and long-term offtake programmes — under formal frameworks, full inspection regimes and bank-grade payment instruments.
Structured responses to public tenders for crude, refined products, LPG, LNG and helium — with full compliance, inspection (SGS / Intertek) and audit-grade documentation.
Sourcing, logistics and term supply for national petroleum reserves, fuel security programmes and strategic helium stockpiles.
Long-term contracts with state-owned power, water and aviation utilities for fuel oil, gasoil, Jet A-1 and feedstocks under letter-of-credit frameworks.
Acting as named trading partner under government-to-government frameworks, MoUs and inter-state cooperation programmes.
Engagements span ministries, national oil companies, sovereign wealth–backed buyers, state utilities and government-owned defence procurement bodies. All names withheld under non-disclosure.
All government and state-owned engagements are conducted under formal contracts with full compliance to OFAC, EU and UK sanctions regimes. Counterparty names disclosed only under executed NDAs.

MENA United Trading announces the launch of its Helium & Industrial Gases desk. Our Chairman Inam Qureshi's firm, Syndicate Lending Corporation, acted as sole agent to Airlife Gases Pvt Ltd on its acquisition of a controlling stake in Royal Helium Ltd. (TSX-V: RHC), a Canadian publicly traded helium producer. MENA United holds no equity in that issuer. The new desk will source and supply Grade-A 5.0 / 6.0 helium, liquid helium, nitrogen and argon to semiconductor, MRI, fibre-optic and aerospace buyers across Asia, the Middle East and Europe.
