A Houston-based commodity trade origination and execution company. Principal-led supply, structured counterparty matching, and CIF delivery for the Caribbean and emerging markets.
Vector Trade Capital LLC is a United States commodity trading company incorporated in Texas and headquartered in Houston. The company originates, structures, and executes bulk commodity transactions — including petroleum products, food staples, and vehicles — for buyers, sellers, and qualified counterparties across the Caribbean and emerging markets.

For larger or mandate-based transactions, VTC structures bankable payment mechanisms and connects qualified counterparties through fee-protected origination.
The company maintains an affiliated entity, Vector Antilles Management Consultancies FZCO, registered in Dubai Silicon Oasis, UAE, supporting Middle East and international trade operations. Vehicle exports are handled through Vector Auto Exports LLC.
