Bridging the gap between international markets and East Africa’s rich resources through precision logistics and execution-driven trading.
Traverse Global, established in 2015 in Dubai, UAE, is a general trading company operating across import and export activities, with a strong focus on commodities and heavy machinery spare parts.
The company was founded by Ahmed Ismail, a seasoned professional with extensive experience in the UAE’s corporate ecosystem, particularly within the shipping and logistics sector, applying practical industry knowledge to a focused, execution-driven trading model.
In recent years, Traverse Global has expanded its operations to source commodities directly from East Africa. To support this strategic move, the company has established a local presence in the region, enabling closer relationships with farmers and suppliers. This expansion is formalized through its Ugandan subsidiary, TG Commodities (UG) Ltd., which serves as the company’s on-the-ground sourcing and coordination arm in East Africa.
Uganda is often called the “Pearl of Africa” for its fertile soils and favourable climate. Through our local company, TG Commodities (UG) Ltd, we work closely with farmers and suppliers to ensure quality, consistency, and reliable supply across our sourcing operations.
We are always open to discussing new projects and supply chain opportunities.
