Why AYYS
Execution discipline for qualified buyers

AYYS is built for buyers who need an execution partner, not a brochure. We qualify counterparties, structure the transaction stack and keep documentation, logistics and payment aligned from first mandate to final settlement.

About / Entity
Legal entity, compliance perimeter and identified contacts

AYYS Commodities operates as a France-registered commodities business serving upstream producers, refiners and European industrial offtakers. The commercial model is execution-led: origin sourcing, contract structuring, logistics coordination, delivery management and settlement support.

Every transaction is subject to counterparty onboarding, KYC/AML review, sanctions screening and documentary controls adapted to the corridor, product and payment instrument. Public market data displayed on this site is indicative only and should never be interpreted as a firm quote or offer.

01 · SourcingUpstream producer qualification and mandate scoping.
02 · ContractTerm sheet, payment security and documentary package.
03 · LogisticsForwarder coordination, routing and compliance checks.
04 · DeliveryShipment visibility, customs support and receipt confirmation.
05 · SettlementInvoice control, payment release and close-out reporting.

Client segments

Battery manufacturers securing feedstock, EPC contractors procuring project metals, and strategic industrial or sovereign buyers seeking structured access to upstream supply.

Compliance posture

KYC, AML, sanctions and beneficial-ownership screening embedded before mandate acceptance, with corridor-level documentary controls through shipment and settlement.

Note: named banking, logistics and refining counterparties should be published only once verified for public disclosure. Placeholder slots have been preserved to avoid inventing partners.

DISCLOSURE · DATA

Every published number needs a source and timestamp

Where prices are shown, cite source and time exactly, for example: LME cash copper, timestamped UTC, displayed for indicative market context only and not for trading purposes.

Required on every figure
LEAD MAGNET

Monthly market report for qualified inbound

Offer a gated market report or corridor brief in exchange for company, buyer type, metal, target volume and destination. This creates a better funnel than a passive intelligence feed.

Lead capture asset
Our approach
Transaction workflow

A visible execution path improves conversion: buyers should immediately understand how a mandate moves from sourcing to contract, logistics, delivery and settlement — and what documentation is required at each stage.
