About Us

Founded in 2025 MCR are a UK-based supplier of industrial raw materials, focused on providing reliable, small-to-medium volume supply to manufacturers who value consistency, transparency, and short lead times.

Our business is founded by a commodities professional with over 10 years’ experience trading derivatives linked to the London Metal Exchange (LME). That background brings a deep understanding of; industrial commodity markets; pricing dynamics, volatility, supply chain risk, and disciplined execution.

We are now applying that experience to the physical supply of industrial materials, starting with natural graphite for refractory, foundry, and high-temperature applications. By holding UK-based stock and offering flexible order sizes, we aim to bridge the gap between bulk overseas suppliers and manufacturers who need dependable material without long lead times or excessive minimum orders.

This experience informs our approach to principal trading activities and to supporting corporate counterparties through introductions and operational services.
