Centrotrade Minerals and Metals (CTR), Centrotrade Deutschland, GmbH (CTD) and Vystar® Corporation Broaden Vytex® Natural Rubber Latex (NRL) Distribution Relationship

CENTROTRADE MINERALS & METALS, Inc. aka Centrotrade Rubber USA, Inc. handles Rubber, Natural Rubber Latex, Vytex® NRL, REVERTEX® and Chemicals for Centrotrade organization throughout North America. With headquarters in Chesapeake, VA and offices in Akron, OH and Greensville, SC, the company like its German counterpart, has significant polymer expertise. Centrotrade Minerals & Metals, Inc. provides technical expertise for the Centrotrade organization, which in most cases is freely available to our customers worldwide, and is concentrated in Virginia and South Carolina. Over the past 20 years there's been a fundamental shift in the way rubber is traded. CTR has moved from a single commodity at point of origin to a sophisticated raw material which requires special handling from tree to the finished goods manufacturing plant. Their technical expertise enables them to advise both processor and receiving on ways to tailor-fit or adjust the material to benefit costs.

CTR/CTD's parent company, Raiffeisen Centrobank AG (RCB), member of the Austrian RZB banking group, is the investment bank within the group and ranks among the leading banks in Austria.

Various subsidiaries - originally founded to support their countertrade activities - handle numerous products in the commodity sector. Among these commodities are Natural and Synthetic Rubber, REVERTEX® as well as Natural and Synthetic Latex in Frankfurt, Singapore, and Chesapeake. These subsidiaries are operated by an independent holding company (Centrotrade Holding AG) which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of RCB. To learn more go to www.centrotrade.net
