New US benzene broker TnS links with PCB

Two emails dropped into the Blog inbox this morning announcing the launch of TnS (Trade n Services), a new US benzene broker in the person of Aruanan Mastenbroek. He will be covering the US and co-operating with Wim Buiter of PCB (Petrochemical Brokerage) on the European market, as of 1 October 2008.

They are currently based in Antwerp, but plan to move to Houston eventually. We are all invited to meet them on their opening tour in Houston on 13-17 October.

Aruanan's background is as a trader working for Oxyde and BMS. Wim had a long-time partnership with Tom Smit in PCB, which dissolved quite recently when Tom departed to set up his own new brokerage Fusion.
