Procurement & Trading

Our Procurement Services

Avocado Engineering proactively supports clients in a wide variety of industries in terms of supply of raw materials, equipment procurement solutions and technologies. Whether it’s a mineral, a petrochemical product, a technological material or equipment, we are committed to provide you with the right procurement/supply solution and long-term support for your supply needs.

We are active in the chemical industries, oil and gas, power plant, water and waste water, mineral processing and waste processing unit operations. We know the raw materials and equipment used in various production and processing environments. As a result, we offer the best procurement solutions and sourcing. We support steel manufacturing plants with the supply of raw materials such as iron ore, coking coal and scrap steel, ceramic and frit manufacturers with minerals such as silica, zirconium silicate and zinc oxide, plastic packaging companies with polymers such as PE and PET and road construction companies with bitumen. Petrochemical plants, for example, need various materials such as catalysts and crude hydrocarbon feedstock. We apply our expertise to provide them with the right solution for their raw material and technological needs.

We also work with our partners to provide complete turnkey solutions to build complete zinc oxide plants using for example SHG zinc or secondary zinc raw materials such as zinc dross. We work on the most effecient furnace technologies available and can provide solutions for premelting of zinc and purification of raw materials before oxidation. Whether you need to revamp your existing zinc oxide production line or you require a new complete zinc oxide production line, we are able to support you in all parts of process from premelting to burner packages and bag-houses and packaging and material handling equipment. We support our clients to establish a complete zinc oxide facility including all the equipment and laboratory requirements.
