Integra purchase expands StoneX’s physical commodities business

StoneX Group, a New York-based financial-services and commodities group, has agreed to acquire Integra Trading, a Colombian coffee trader and processor. The agreement adds coffee sourcing and processing to the group’s physical commodities business. The acquisition will be made through its Swiss trading entity and integrated into StoneX Supply and Trading.[1], [2]

Processing plant connects Colombian growers with export markets

Founded by Manuel Rueda in 2015, Integra operates a certified processing plant near Medellín in Colombia’s Antioquia region. It has its own export licence, storage operations and established grower relationships. A sales centre in Miami supports the business’s access to customers outside Colombia.[1]

StoneX said the purchase would increase direct access to Colombian Arabica coffee. Its plan links sourcing and processing with its international customer base, risk-management platform and financial resources. The announcement lists organic and fair-trade certifications among Integra’s capabilities, alongside compliance with US food-safety requirements.[1]

Existing team and sourcing model will remain

Rueda said Integra would retain its team and sourcing model while gaining access to end customers around the world. StoneX Supply and Trading chief executive Brent Grecian highlighted the export licence, processing capacity and grower relationships. The signed agreement does not disclose a purchase price or a separate completion date.[1]
