Case Study: Koch Supply & Trading achieves cost savings and best‑in‑class metals trading with Brady Plc

Why Brady’s solution is central to Koch Supply & Trading’s global metals business

Koch Supply & Trading, an indirect subsidiary of Koch Industries and active metals trader on the London Metal Exchange, needed a stable, scalable CTRM to manage growing exchange volumes and complex LME requirements across front-, middle- and back-office operations. For 20 years they have relied on Brady Plc’s financial commodities trading and risk management solution to support their metals trading portfolio and meet the operational demands of trading, settlement, credit and compliance.

Brady Plc implemented a core trading lifecycle platform plus add-ons—LME matching and clearing, Warrants Management and P&L attribution—enabling faster, more accurate processing of high volumes and end-to-end visibility for traders, operations, settlements, credit and risk teams. The Brady Plc solution delivered measurable benefits: Koch reports substantially reduced costs, easier integration into a complex IT ecosystem, and the stability to handle higher exchange volumes while maintaining best-in-class metals trading capabilities.
