Ruffin Trading Company, LLC United States

Ruffin Trading Company uses building materials as a means of payment. The company is set up to buy excess inventories and pays for them with building materials including doors, mouldings, tile, pavers, brick, lighting, and other specialty items. The company's first market was Jamaica, where we purchased Blue Mountain coffee with excess building materials from the US market. Ruffin Trading Company chooses to use building materials as leverage, or basic form of stock and payment on international transactions as these items represent basic human needs and we can depend on their liquidity anywhere in the world. Ruffin Trading Company has been working in Argentina for the last four years developing markets for the rosy colored eucalyptus grandis hardwood floors and plywoods. We look to create trade bridges with countries and in addition help create markets for new building materials products in the US.
