You are starting a new project
You know the product you intend to make. We work backwards from that product to the material, the equipment and the supplier who can actually deliver it — so the first order is the right one.
Company profile
Industrial procurement, run as a technical discipline.
PMG Trading EG connects Egyptian and Middle Eastern manufacturers with international steel mills and machinery makers — starting from the production requirement, not from a catalogue.

Who we are
A sourcing desk, not a catalogue
PMG Trading EG was founded in Cairo in 2024 by Peter Maher, an international trade consultant working in steel materials and industrial machinery. The company serves industrial buyers who need more than a price list: manufacturers deciding which grade actually suits their process, fabricators sizing a machine to a real production load, and contractors who need a specification confirmed before an order is placed.
Every enquiry is treated as a technical file. We identify what is missing from the requirement, confirm it against manufacturer data, and only then approach suppliers. The result is a request for quotation that mills and machinery makers can answer accurately the first time — which is what shortens lead times and prevents the wrong material arriving at a site.
What we do not do: we do not quote capacities we have not verified, and we do not present a supplier as suitable before the technical requirement is confirmed. Where a specification is still open, we say so.
Working with PMG
Tell us what you need. We handle the rest.
Whether you are starting a new project, developing one that already runs, or adding production capacity, the hard part is rarely the purchase itself — it is knowing exactly what to buy, from whom, and on what terms. That is the part we take on for you.
You are developing an existing operation
A new line, an added product, or a bottleneck you need cleared. We size the solution against the plant you already run — not against a catalogue that ignores what is on your floor.
You are adding production capacity
More output from the same floor space, or the throughput of an extra shift. We match the specification to the target you set, so you do not pay for capacity you will never use.
Real value for what you invest
Every specification we confirm serves one purpose: that the money you commit buys equipment and material that fit the job. Not the cheapest option that fails early, and not a specification larger than your production actually needs. Getting that balance right is what we hold ourselves accountable for — and it is why our clients bring us the next project too.
What we do
Two operating divisions
The business runs on two parallel lines. Many clients use both — material for production, and the equipment that processes it.
Steel & industrial materials
Flat and long steel products sourced from international mills and delivered to Egyptian manufacturers, sandwich panel producers, steel fabricators and EPC contractors.
- Coated coil — hot-dip galvanized (HDG) and pre-painted (PPGI / PPGL)
- Flat products — hot rolled and cold rolled coil and sheet
- Structural sections — beams, angles, channels and profiles
- Fasteners — high-strength bolts, nuts and anchors
CNC equipment & industrial machinery
Fabrication equipment selected around the client's process — the material, profile, operation and production target come first, then the machine.
- Cutting — fiber laser and plasma cutting systems
- Forming — CNC press brakes and roll forming lines
- Processing — drilling, punching and beam lines
- Welding — robotic and automated welding cells
- Lifting & safety — overhead, gantry and jib cranes; aviation obstruction lighting
Supplier network
Where we source from
The PMG system contains 370 registered mills, machinery manufacturers and component suppliers across more than 15 countries. Registration indicates network coverage; every enquiry still requires requirement-specific qualification before a supplier is shortlisted.
We source from manufacturers based in:
SwitzerlandItalyPortugalSpain
TaiwanSouth KoreaTürkiyeChina
How we work
Five controlled stages
Each stage has a defined output, so the buyer can always see what is confirmed, what is still open, and what happens next.
Requirement
Capture the application, grade, dimensions, quantity, delivery point, target date and any available drawings.
Technical clarification
Identify missing dimensions, standards and operating conditions, and confirm them against manufacturer data.
Suitable options
Compare the relevant sourcing or equipment routes against the confirmed requirement, with the trade-offs stated.
Supplier coordination
Issue a structured RFQ to qualified mills or manufacturers, then compare pricing, lead times and commercial terms.
Delivery & follow-up
Track production, documentation, shipping and port clearance through to site. Support continues after arrival.

Leadership
Peter Maher
Founder — International Trade Consultant & Procurement Advisor
Peter works directly on every technical file. His background covers steel trading — coated and flat-rolled coil, structural sections and fasteners — alongside representation of international machinery manufacturers in cutting, forming, roll forming and welding. He handles enquiries personally in Arabic and English, from the first specification question through to delivery on site.
An import file is more than a purchase order. Peter works across all four stages:
- Technical sourcing — steel grades and coatings, and selecting CNC and fabrication equipment against a real production load.
- Logistics and shipping — Incoterms, freight routing, container and break-bulk planning, port handling and delivery to site.
- Trade finance — letters of credit and transfer terms, payment milestones, and currency exposure across USD, EUR and EGP.
- Customs clearance — Egyptian import procedure, documentation and release, so goods are not held at the port over a paperwork gap.
Have a requirement to discuss?
Send the specification, drawings or data sheets you already have. We will identify what is missing and prepare a qualified RFQ.
