Bitumen business is a niche market. small profit margin is a MUST to be able to stay competitive. so every single process in the delivery of the Bitumen, from the refinery, to port of dis charge, should be studied well and researched. here is a break down to our costs and steps, as a bitumen exporter from Iran:

• buying Bitumen from Iran Mercantile Exchange Market (or directly from Refinery)

when Bitumen Business slows down...!

you probably have seen to many "what to do when business is slow..." tips and advice on the net. things like:

• contact old clients and make better relations
• cut possible costs and do more yourself
• work on advertising strategies and write new plans
• etc etc etc

I, personally, am fed up with slow business in Iran recent months, but more fed up with these advises!

in the last three months I just did couple of sales which is disappointing! so I struggled a lot with this question and here are my COMPLETELY DIFFERENT solution!

Bitumen from Iran

• understand the reason
  hmmm... well, the real one I mean! in my case, presidential election in Iran and large scale fluctuations in USD/Rial rate were strongest reasons
  understanding the real reasons will definitely help you get back on track when those which are out of your control ended up.
• long run buddy! look at the long run!
  the lab is over? but there are more remaining! the sanctions will be over, new president will step to power, USD/Rial rate will be solid, L/C will be OK again... what next? so you have to be ready for a long run business.
• take some nasty time OFF!
  damn go out of your office, hang out with friends (especially those who may have impact on your business) and spend some time for yourself! 

drums or plastic bags? that's the problem!

we pack bitumen in new steel drums for decades. many other alternatives showed up in recent years, but why suppliers do not like to switch to new options, while steel drums are more expensive, have more waste and sometimes loading issues are added too??

Our drumming facility in Segzi city, near Isfahan

here are some options to steel barrels:

Jumbo bags: they are made of plastic, 1 Metric Ton each, recently a bit more expensive than drums

Poly Bags: in 25, 35 and 50 kg bags, they can be melted and mix with bitumen in construction sight

bulk bitumen: it needs vessels for ocean freight

so why still steel drums?! :)

because clients still ask for them! too simple? but it's so true. 

you want to experience new ways? I suggest Jumbo Bags, even at a slight higher price... contact me for further information: honarparvar@gmail.com or +98 912 149 6126

Drumming process

I'd like to post some information on drumming process. Our drumming plant is in Industrial city of Shargh, in Segzi, Isfahan.
this industrial city is located in the transit way from Jey refinery to Bandar Abbas. so the transportation cost will be optimized. another option for drumming plants is Mourchekhort, which is near to the refinery, but increases the cost of land transportation.

usual new steel drums for Asian and African clients

in the next post, I will give you steps and pictures! for now I have to leave office for a meeting!
Oh! at least I can give you new prices: FOB Bandar Abbas 515 USD per MT

new year in Iran, starts with huge demand on Bitumen and other oil products

Iranian new year holidays were way too long this year and had a big impact on business!
anyway it's over now, back to work.

the increasing demand for Iranian oil products and petrochemicals which started in passed March, continued in April. we have plenty of inquiries from Sri Lanka, Burmeh, Vietnam and Pakistan. inquiries from Africa seems to be slowing down which can be considered seasonal.

Iranian New Year holidays will halt bitumen trades from Iran

Persian calendar New Year, calling Nowrooz, will be celebrated on 21st of March. according to my experience, new orders on Bitumen, other oil products or petrochemicals can not made from two weeks before the holidays to be delivered before.
the holidays will halt the transportation as well for two weeks, or makes it very difficult. so in couple of days, we can consider the year... OVER!

Happy Persian New Year!

looking back, I can describe my business in the year 1391 (2012-2013), growing and changing!

The Growth:
we had customers in India, China and Africa previous years. in the current year we explored new countries like Sierre Leone, Pakistan, Tajikistan and Myanmar.
We also had oil products, like Bitumen, Base Oil, Slack Wax, Paraffin, etc... but this year, we started dealing with Petrochemical like PE-BL3, PP, IsoButanol and PVC

Petrochemical products have a great potential in Turkey and Pakistan, we are trying to explore and find more potential markets and clients purchasing petrochem products alongside with our oil products.

So the growth I said, performed in goods and destination markets both.

The Change:
it's all about the sanctions! we experience very tough embargoes and payment terms are influenced more than ever. ocean freights and shipping ways are also in tough conditions.
we have to be flexible in these terms to be competitive, but with the force to pay in cash to refineries and transportation, drumming etc inside the country, we can not finance all the deals we receive and therefore asking for down-payments is a must for us...

Vision for next year, 1392 (2013)
we will keep our focus on Bitumen and oil products. our drumming plant will expand its capacity to 1000 MT per day which is 50 barrels a day.
Our petrochemical products will be offered in a limited range of some PE and PP grades since we prefer to test the markets with some few reliable sources and grades of products we know we have advantages comparing to other countries supplying petrochemical goods.
Our company will lunch a new website for petrochemical products in the coming year.

Happy Nowrooz, stay healthy and keep in touch!

How buying Bitumen from Iran, can perform safer?!

I know, many traders have excessive hunger for Iranian prime and quality Bitumen, but what threatens them for a safe and hassle free purchase?

Safe Business tips to buy bitumen from Iranian exporters

1. the payment dilemma
since the Iranian refineries ask for cash in advance for bitumen, traders and brokers face financing problems. drumming, transportation, Terminal charges and Freight costs are all cash payments too. so traders should finance the deals 100% or ask for some cash payments.

2. the quality and purity problem
I'm afraid, many buyers have told stories about how they found contaminated bitumen in their drums  when they loaded to sight of construction! and you may agree that's too late for any compensation!

3. the delivery period issue
you sign a 1 month delivery contract, and you get the goods in 2 month! that simple...

one word solution for all above issues: know who you are buying from!

visit their drumming factory, visit their office in Tehran or other cities. ask them to provide you documents of last purchases from refinery and notice how frequent the dates are. and if they let, ask them to introduce you one or more trusted partners in your country of destination or neighborhood.

need to mention? WE DO ALL ABOVE! keep safe and clean in your business!
