StoneX Group has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Colombian coffee trader, exporter and processor Integra Trading, expanding its coffee sourcing and processing operations in the country.

The acquisition will be carried out through StoneX's Switzerland-based trading entity, with Integra set to become part of its Supply & Trading physical commodities business.

Founded in 2015 and led by Manuel Rueda, Integra operates a certified coffee processing mill near Medellín, in Colombia's Antioquia region. The company holds several international quality, food safety and sustainability certifications, including Organic, Rainforest Alliance, Fair Trade USA, Fair Trade International and 4C.

The deal will strengthen StoneX's presence in Colombia, a major coffee-producing market, providing direct access to Arabica coffee supplies and expanding its capabilities across the coffee supply chain.

By combining Integra's coffee sourcing and milling operations with StoneX's global customer network, risk management platform and financial resources, the company expects to increase trading volumes, improve margins and support further growth.

Brent Grecian, CEO of StoneX Supply & Trading, said: "Integra gives StoneX a 'boots on the ground' presence at origin in Colombia, a licensed exporter, an owned processing mill, and a team with deep grower relationships."

"It's a natural extension of our physical coffee business, and it's expected to contribute from day one while giving our clients a more direct, traceable, and sustainable supply chain."

Manuel Rueda, founder of Integra, added: "Joining StoneX gives our business the capital, platform, and global reach to grow well beyond what we could achieve on our own. We're keeping our team and our origination model intact while gaining direct access to end-user clients around the world."

The acquisition is expected to contribute positively to StoneX's earnings immediately following completion. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
