Learn how Alkagesta Asia Pte Ltd. is expanding into Singapore to connect European precision with Asia-Pacific momentum through governance, transparency, and sustainable trade.
A New Stage for Organised Global Trade
When global markets shift daily and regulations tighten weekly, having a structured approach becomes a strategic advantage. Alkagesta LTD was founded in Malta in 2018 and built its reputation on being open and honest. By launching Alkagesta Asia Pte Ltd in Singapore today, the company is bringing that model to the Asia-Pacific region. This is not a trend; it is a long-term commitment to responsible trade.
Why Singapore Is Central to the Plan
Singapore has earned its reputation as Asia’s leading centre for commodity trading. With over 41 million containers passing through its ports annually and a financial sector ranked among the world’s most transparent, the city-state provides the perfect foundation for structured growth.
“Singapore is where Asian markets converge with global capital,” notes Orkhan Rustamov, CEO of Alkagesta. “Opening Alkagesta Singapore means strengthening that connection through trust and discipline.”
The new hub places Alkagesta at the heart of energy flows linking the Caspian region with Southeast Asia — via the BTC pipeline, Ceyhan terminal, and regional ports in Singapore and Malaysia.
From Malta to Singapore – A Model of Governance
In Malta, Alkagesta proved that strong compliance can be a business asset. Its framework combines KYC/AML checks, counterparty and vessel screening, and sanctions control with EU and UK standards. This approach won the trust of 28 international banks and leading insurers.
The same principles now apply to Singapore, where regulatory rigour matches Asia’s scale. Alkagesta’s integration with local financial institutions ensures that trade flows are both efficient and auditable — a rare combination in today’s volatile markets.
Trade Finance and Risk Management as Core Strengths
With decades of collective expertise, the Alkagesta company structures complex transactions backed by letters of credit and insurance. This mitigates counterparty risk and creates predictability for clients and banks alike.
As Pierre Gay, Member of the Board, explains: “In commodity trading, execution matters — but so does assurance. Our structure offers both.”
This methodology allows Alkagesta to serve clients across Europe, the Middle East and Asia, maintaining financial discipline and logistical flexibility.
ESG and Sustainability Embedded in Operations
Alkagesta uses the ESG framework as a way to run its business. The company has put money into biofuels and recycling facilities for used cooking oil. The company has also obtained ISCC EU certification for tracking renewable fuel flows. These actions help Asia reach its goals of reducing carbon emissions while keeping the supply chain safe.
Alkagesta doesn’t see sustainability as a label; they see it as a way to measure resilience. Every verified transaction strengthens the company’s long-term trust with banks and governments.
Leadership That Makes People Trust You
Alkagesta is a management-owned company with aligned incentives for executives and investors, thanks to Rustamov’s leadership. This structure promotes long-term thinking over short-term gain.
The Board’s primary objectives are to monitor risks and ensure the transparency of the company’s governance. These are the main reasons why the company grows by 49% every year.
Conclusion — A Disciplined Expansion for a Dynamic Region
More than just a significant milestone for the company, the opening of Alkagesta in Singapore represents a strategy for European traders to thrive in Asia without compromising their core values. Alkagesta Asia Pte Ltd sets a new standard for commodity trading along the Europe-Asia corridor by making its growth depend on openness, risk management, and long-term success.
