Meridian is a buyer, not a vendor. Across thirty-eight operating companies we source in the hundreds of millions of dollars a year — diamonds, industrial materials, hardware, components, and finished goods — and we move it through a distribution network we own across 46 countries. If you make something well, at scale, on schedule, we want to know what it is.
Most buying organisations are a cost centre with a vendor portal. Meridian's procurement function is a business: it sources for thirty-eight operating companies, qualifies suppliers against our own standards, and moves the result through a distribution network we own end to end — 12 regional distribution centres, 46 countries, 9,000+ SKUs in continuous rotation.
We source directly from manufacturers and mills, foundries and ateliers. No intermediaries, no markups, no games. If your catalogue is good, the conversation starts with a sample and a reference — not a slide deck. And when we commit, we commit for years: framework agreements, predictable volume, and payment on time, every time.
Continuously, across the group.
Rough and cut diamonds, coloured gemstones, and precious commodities — sourced to Antwerp-standard grading for Aurelian Diamonds.
Chemicals, polymers, metals, composites, fasteners, electronics, and building inputs — the full chemical-to-construction spectrum for Halcyon Industrial.
Compute, networking, and data-centre hardware for Vertex Quantitative and the group's own platforms.
Finished goods, packaging, and materials for the retail and hospitality businesses in the portfolio.
Container, freight, and last-mile capacity across the 46-country network.
Engineering, compliance, and technical services delivered to group standards.
The reasons a manufacturer signs with Meridian — and stays.
We buy against demonstrated capacity. Once qualified, a supplier sits on a framework agreement that runs for years — not a single trial order and silence.
We own the balance sheet. Suppliers are paid on agreed terms, without the drift that stalls smaller buyers. That is a feature we do not advertise — it simply happens.
We don't just buy; we distribute. Your goods move through our own 46-country network to the markets that need them — a reach most buyers cannot offer.
Suppliers who give us first look at new lines, capacity, or pricing are moved to the front of the queue — and offered longer, larger frameworks in return.
Four steps. Thirty days, on average, from first contact to qualification.
What we ask of the suppliers we keep.
Specifications are written down and tested. Exceptions are exceptions, not the norm.
We buy against demonstrated capacity with documented surge paths.
Suppliers are audited against the group standard and re-audited on a cycle.
Framework agreements run for years. We prefer suppliers who plan in the same units.
