Company Overview

Founded in 1988, Spectron operates a global wholesale marketplace for energy, commodities, freight and environmental products, from its offices in London, Singapore, Oslo, Frankfurt, Genova and several cities across the US. More than $500 billion of products trade through Spectron annually.

Spectron acts as a neutral intermediary broker in the gas, electricity, freight, oil, petroleum products, coal, metals, weather, LNG, environmental products and softs and agricultural products markets.

Spectron is also a leading provider of market information products – its daily market summaries, analytical reports, live market screens and price feeds have become must-have market-monitoring tools for thousands of energy professionals – traders, risk officers, consultants, end-users, associations, regulators and government agencies.

A winner of numerous industry awards for customer service and innovation, Spectron has been involved in developing online trading technology since 1994. Spectron revolutionised energy trading in 2000 with the launch of SpectronLive.com, its electronic trading platform, and the hybrid voice/screen model this created has since become the industry benchmark in Europe.

Dedicated to commodity markets only, Spectron is regulated and authorised by the Financial Services Authority in the UK and Europe.

In March 2011 the sale of Spectron to Marex Financial was announced.

Spectron is a member of the London Energy Brokers' Association.
