LONDON, Sept. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — ION Commodities, a leading global provider of commodity management solutions, announces that Elemental has selected ION’s Aspect CTRM to optimize and expand its trading operations. Elemental specializes in sourcing, refining, and recycling strategic metals essential for sustainable technologies. The firm’s decision to implement Aspect highlights the need for robust, agile solutions in today’s rapidly evolving industrial materials and precious metals markets.

Aspect is a proven CTRM solution, offering the flexibility and scalability to meet these challenges.

Aspect, ION’s metals solution, addresses the sophisticated needs of the global metals market.

With real-time P&L monitoring, integrated workflows, and complete visibility across trading, risk, and operations, Aspect is a unified system that eliminates manual processes and simplifies decision-making. By consolidating data, enhancing risk management with VaR and stress testing, and supporting portfolio diversification, Aspect enables Elemental to manage volatility, optimize performance, and respond quickly to market disruptions.

Principia Consulting, a system integrator and business consulting provider, engaged on the Aspect implementation, working closely with ION and Elemental to ensure a fast and efficient deployment. This collaborative engagement allowed for a seamless transition, enabling Elemental to use Aspect’s full capabilities in record time. With this successful deployment, Elemental is positioned well to optimize its trading processes, enhance visibility into market opportunities, and manage risk across its diverse portfolio. 

Piotr Baszak, Head of Trading at Elemental, shared his enthusiasm for Aspect: “After a thorough selection process, Aspect was the clear choice to help us manage our metals, tolling, and PGM trading operations. Its intuitive interface and comprehensive functionality give us a competitive edge in this complex market. We’re excited to realize Aspect’s full potential as we grow.”

Sunil Biswas, Head of ION Commodities, added: “Aspect is our CTRM solution for metals, designed to address the intricate and diverse challenges across the value chain. We’re proud to support Elemental in expanding its trading capabilities. Our ongoing investment in Aspect ensures that the solution remains at the forefront of innovation, adapting to the ever-changing needs of the metals market.”
