Glencore: Mining Trading Sampling Cases

Challenge

Glencore is the world's largest commodities trader with $220B+ revenue and 60+ countries. They need cases for mineral sampling equipment, ore analyzers, and trading hardware transported to mines, smelters, and refineries globally. Cases must: (1) meet IATA + UN packaging + IP65 standards, (2) survive mining and smelter conditions, (3) protect $50,000+ sampling equipment, (4) integrate with Glencore supply chain, (5) be reusable 400+ cycles.

Solution

KeXinMaterials provided mining-grade cases with: (1) IATA + UN packaging + IP65 + IP67 compliance, (2) PP copolymer with chemical-resistant and heavy-duty, (3) custom foam for XRF analyzers, ore sampling tools, trading laptops, (4) serialized QR + Glencore supply chain, (5) 400+ cycle rating. Custom foam for Olympus Vanta, Bruker XRF, pXRF analyzers, and trading satellite equipment.

Result

1,500 cases deployed across 60+ countries. 18 months zero sampling equipment damage. 100% UN packaging compliance. Glencore standardized KeXinMaterials as a qualified mining case vendor.

"Glencore operates in 60+ countries with strict IATA, UN packaging, and IP65 standards for mining and smelter operations. KeXinMaterials cases have proven chemical-resistant and heavy-duty performance across our global mining operations. The 400+ cycle reusability supports our ESG goals. They're our standard mining case. — Glencore Global Mining Operations Director"
