A UAE-based energy trader, built around Asia, West Africa and the ARA hub.
Headquartered in the UAE — MAK Commodities trades petroleum products and natural gas with counterparties across three of the world's most active energy markets.
Bridging energy markets.
MAK Commodities is an independent trader of refined petroleum products, with a growing natural-gas book. From our head office in the United Arab Emirates, we operate a tightly focused trading desk covering Asian, West African and ARA (Amsterdam–Rotterdam–Antwerp) markets.
As a younger firm, we deliberately stay lean and hands-on. Every cargo is managed end-to-end by experienced commercial and operations staff — giving our counterparties a direct line to decision-makers rather than layers of process.
Our counterparty network spans refiners, distributors and industrial off-takers. We combine physical sourcing with tailored commercial structures designed around each partner's operational reality.
Trading partners across Asia, West Africa and ARA.
Our geography is deliberately focused. From our UAE base, we trade where we have operational knowledge, established relationships and the ability to deliver reliably.

Regional expertise
Deep working knowledge of Asian, West African and ARA markets — ports, specifications, regulations and local operational realities.
