Mercantile group · Registered in Ireland
Commerce without borders.
Enterprise without limits.
Building an international network across trade, industry and logistics. Every lane is researched and costed in writing before it is quoted, and every consignment moves on documentation that clears.
The group
Divisions built one lane at a time
We open a division when we can document it end to end, not when the category looks attractive. Each carries its own regulatory position and its own counterparties.
Division 01 · Live
Textile recovery
Post-consumer textiles from Irish and UK collection into South Asian sorting and resale markets, handled under the EU Waste Shipment Regulation.

Climate and cooling systems
Commercial and industrial cooling equipment sourced from East Asian manufacturers for the Irish and European seasonal market.
Register interest →Division 03 · By mandate
Origination
A buyer or a producer gives us a category. We establish whether a viable lane exists, and we say so plainly when it does not.

Intelligence
Nothing is quoted before it is written down
Each lane receives a written assessment before any introduction is made. We produce it through Invenio Protocols, our commercial intelligence practice, using the method we apply for advisory clients.
Research
Price differential, tariff exposure, regulatory pathway and both counterparties, worked up in writing before a figure is discussed.
Documentation
Certificates, packing lists, movement paperwork and filings prepared and lodged before departure, never chased afterwards.
Accountability
One firm holds the freight, the insurance, the customs position and the settlement, and one named person answers for it.

Network
One network. Multiple continents.
A schematic of the lanes we run and the lanes we are building, not a map of offices. We operate from Dublin and work with agents, forwarders and processors in each market we enter.

Registrations, terms and how we settle
On payment security. Bank details are issued on our invoice and on no other document. They do not change. Any message asking you to remit to a different account, however it is worded and whichever address it appears to come from, is fraudulent. Telephone us on the number at the top of this page before releasing funds.
Responsibility
Enterprise must create value beyond its balance sheet.
Extending useful life
Our first division exists because serviceable clothing is discarded in one market while it is still wanted in another. We move goods that retain value to the places where that value is realised.
Documented, not dumped
Every consignment moves under the Waste Shipment Regulation with the paperwork lodged in advance. We will not ship to a destination or a facility we cannot evidence.
Commitments
Specific charitable and sustainability commitments will be published here, with figures, once they are in place. We would rather show nothing than show something unmeasured.
Contact
Let us build the next market together.
Give us the commodity, the volume, the destination port and your target Incoterm. You will get a considered answer, including when the answer is that the lane does not work.
