Founded as a commodity trading company, SYNTRICOR Group provides local suppliers of both base and precious metals, as well as agricultural products such as groundnuts, maize, and soya, with access to international markets. This remains our main business focus. In addition to our trading activities, we are committed to empowering local populations in southern Africa, specifically Zambia, DRC, and Kenya, through our innovative Community Consolidation Concept (CCC).

The CCC is designed to optimize value chains and ensure a more equitable distribution of wealth. It supports small-scale miners and small-holder farmers by offering guaranteed purchase agreements, shared knowledge centers, and a bonus system that rewards loyalty and compliance with OECD and corporate guidelines. This enables individual owners to expand and optimize their production, providing SYNTRICOR with a higher and more stable supply of commodities. Through the CCC, we foster mutual growth and sustainable development, benefiting both the local communities and our business operations.

The founder, Mr. Nick Svendlund, has spent over 30 years seeking unexploited potential across various industries. His extensive experience includes pharmaceutical distribution, knowledge database solutions for targeted user groups (such as doctors and pharmacies), and the construction industry.

For the past 15 years, he has focused on commodity trading, particularly in southern Africa. Working with His Excellency Dr. Kenneth D. Kaunda, the first president of Zambia, from 2007 to 2010, Nick gained a deeper understanding of the challenges facing local populations.

This experience laid the foundation for establishing SYNTRICOR in 2011, with a clear dedication to bridging rural Africa to international markets through sustainable development.
