Lübeck, October 2026 – CREMER ERZKONTOR GmbH continues its international growth strategy with the founding of CREMER ERZKONTOR Raw Materials Trading Middle East FZE, a wholly owned subsidiary based in the United Arab Emirates.

“With this step, we are strengthening our presence in a strategically important region and creating the foundation for further expanding our business in Africa and the Middle East,” says Nils Fleig, CEO of CREMER ERZKONTOR GmbH. “Through our new company based in Dubai, we will be able to support our customers and partners in the region even more effectively with local services and integrated supply chain solutions. At the same time, this enables us to unlock new market opportunities and further strengthen our international position in a sustainable way.”

The new company will be led by Jessika Calderon as General Manager. From its base in Dubai, CREMER ERZKONTOR will further enhance collaboration with customers, suppliers, and business partners across the region while strategically expanding its network.

The Middle East and Africa are among the most dynamic growth markets in the global raw materials industry. Large-scale infrastructure projects, ongoing industrialization, and growing demand for raw materials and industrial minerals are creating attractive opportunities for development. Thanks to its strategic location, Dubai has also become one of the world’s leading trade and logistics hubs, providing ideal conditions for CREMER ERZKONTOR’s continued international expansion.

With this new location, CREMER ERZKONTOR is expanding its local sales and sourcing activities while further strengthening its international supply and trading structures. Proximity to regional markets enables faster decision-making, shorter supply chains, and even closer collaboration with business partners on the ground.

The establishment of the new company marks another milestone in CREMER ERZKONTOR’s international growth strategy and underscores the company’s commitment to providing reliable, integrated, and sustainable solutions across the entire value chain worldwide.
