About us

FOUNDER

Mr. Alexandre Turincev (1942-2014)

A life-long experience in fertilizer trading having founded and successfully grown two trading companies: MERKURIA in the 70s and 80s, and then MEKATRADE.

 

Alexandre Turincev believed in certain basic values, by which he stood, and which continue to shape Mekatrade today:

  • People matter more than structures,
  • True listening and sharing is what makes relationships last,
  • A successful business is like a music partition, with its rhythm and tempo, and where individual players, each with their personal qualities, can come together and play as one, in harmony.
