Our Story

Trans-Global Marketplace (TGM) is the commodity trading arm of Mid Atlantic Logistics Unlimited, Inc. (MALU). MALU was incorporated in Columbus, Ohio, USA in 2011, and TGM became a subsidiary in 2014.

 

Origins

MALU started as an over-the-road freight logistics brokerage company with a global vision. As clients' needs evolved, our experience helped us develop a commodity trading house. We transformed into a physical trading house when clients requested help sourcing commodities.

 

The Opportunity

In sourcing commodities, we recognized that African traders were largely absent from the global market due to funding and trust issues. We saw this as an opportunity to build our brand and create a bridge connecting global markets to the African marketplace.

 

Our Solution

MALU's officers built a system providing access to global markets. We implemented tools to address issues causing the vacuum:​​

•  Serving as a conduit for African traders entering the global market.

•  Adopting global standards for doing business.

•  Addressing funding problems with an alternative business model.

•        Integrating international experience with local insights to build transparency.

 

Our Reach

Our presence extends to the five regions of the African continent. We recruit agents with diverse backgrounds, including experience with manufacturers, refineries, and miners.

​

 Our Strengths

Our agents possess strong negotiation skills, securing the best prices for any budget. MALU is known for creating a professional system free from fraud, corruption, and bribery.

​

 About Us

We are a female minority-owned company with a presence across four continents. Our agents speak over 50 languages, enabling us to implement our business model effectively.

 TGM Motto

We build relationships today that will last beyond tomorrow.
