Raw materials from major petrochemical producers, delivered to industry in any market.
BEX connects the world's leading polymer, petrochemical and bitumen suppliers with manufacturers and distributors in Brazil, Latin America and any market. We negotiate, structure and run every operation end to end: contract, documentation, payment and risk stay with us; the cargo ships straight from origin to the customer.
Three things we solve for raw-material buyers
Producer pricing
We negotiate directly with the companies that make the resin. With no layers of intermediation, the price is more competitive and every lot traces back to the plant.
One operation, one person in charge
From proforma to arrival at port, a BEX director follows the order: contract, Invoice, Packing List, certificates, booking and a notice at every milestone.
Risk handled before, not after
Payment terms agreed in writing, a confirmed letter of credit when the contract calls for it, and documents checked before they reach the bank.
How BEX operates
On every deal BEX signs two mirrored contracts: a purchase from the producer and a sale to the customer, with the same specifications, quantity and shipment window. The producer deals with a single counterparty; so does the customer. The cargo ships straight from the plant to the port of destination, and payment flows through BADWIN S.A., from Uruguay.
Ships from the port of origin straight to the customer's port, under the incoterm agreed in the contract. No transit through Uruguay and no intermediate warehousing: shorter transit and lower cost.
Terms negotiated case by case and fixed in the contract: prepayment, down payment plus balance, confirmed letter of credit or approved credit terms. BEX is the financial counterparty at both ends.
Invoice, Packing List, Bill of Lading and Certificates of Origin and Quality issued and checked by BEX before going to the bank and the customer. Complete documentation, on time and free of discrepancies.
Six workstreams on every operation
Sourcing from producers
Direct negotiation with the world's leading petrochemical producers and distributors in Asia, the Middle East, the Americas and Europe. The right grade, producer pricing and a traceable lot.
Deal structuring
Mirrored purchase and sales contracts, a defined incoterm (FOB, CFR or CIF), cargo insurance and a shipment window fixed in writing.
Documentation and banks
Commercial Invoice, Packing List, Bill of Lading, Certificates of Origin and Quality. Draft checked before loading; presentation aligned with the bank in letter-of-credit operations.
Coordinated logistics
Booking, vessel and loading date followed with the producer and the carrier. Cargo direct from origin to destination, with no intermediate warehousing.
Risk management
Customer credit assessment with credit insurance, counterparty screening (KYC), a confirmed letter of credit when the contract calls for it, contracts under Uruguayan jurisdiction.
Follow-up at every milestone
Cargo ready, booking confirmed, loaded, documents issued and arrival: BEX keeps the customer informed at each milestone and sends the corresponding documents.

From producer to customer, in any market
The producer sells to a single counterparty, BADWIN S.A.; the customer buys from a single counterparty. Whatever changes from one country to another, such as incoterm, documents and import requirements, is handled by BEX on each operation.

Why we contract from here
Contracts, invoicing and collection run from Uruguay: a strong currency, free movement of capital and legal certainty for both sides of the deal. The cargo never comes here. It sails from the port of origin straight to the customer's port, and the customer imports in its own name.
