Hedron Private Markets has acquired the Reibus Marketplace

Today, I’m sharing the exciting news that Hedron has acquired the Reibus Metals Marketplace

Reibus built something that mattered. They understood early on that in industrial metals, privacy and discretion aren’t optional. And industrial metals markets work better when buyers and sellers can transact without showing their hand.

That earned trust in this industry.

The industrial metal trade has always been complex. Not because people are unwilling to trade, but because every transaction has nuance. Every order has dozens of variables. And most work still happens offline in email threads, phone calls, and long-standing relationships that don’t fit neatly into online forms or dashboards.

For years, software tried to change how industrial metals trade. It didn’t work.

Our focus at Hedron is building a marketplace that strengthens what already works and cuts out what doesn’t. You still get discretion. You still get privacy. But now you also get better execution, day to day.

We’re adding a concierge-level experience to the Reibus marketplace, and we’re designing it to scale.You can work over email, phone, or text - whatever already fits your day. Behind the scenes, better matching systems and automation help us understand specifications faster and match material more accurately.

That means fewer dead ends, less back-and-forth, and deals that close faster.

We’ve also integrated financing and liquidity directly into the workflow. Not as an add-on, and not as a workaround, but as part of how deals get done. We can advance against large purchases, support bigger orders, and help fund receivables so deals don’t stall because of balance-sheet constraints.

This is possible now because the tools finally fit the problem. Systems built specifically for industrial metals can handle complex specifications without missing critical details. Automation keeps context intact across long-running deals. And modern trade-credit workflows make it easier to support larger transactions safely and consistently.

People remain at the center of this market. Now, we are able to simply do more with the same team.

And what doesn’t change is just as important:

• You don’t have to change how you communicate.

• You don’t have to broadcast your position.

• You don’t have to move your relationships onto a platform.

Whether you worked with Reibus or have never used a marketplace at all, you can work with Hedron alongside the partners you already trust. There’s no forced migration. No big switch.

If you’ve never used Reibus before, welcome. We hope you’ll consider Hedron when you need to get a deal done.

Better outcomes, without changing how you do business. It’s the core principle guiding our team at Hedron. And we’re so excited to work with you.

I'd love to hear from you. If you have any questions, please email dwolbert@hedronusa.com
