Knightly Resources is an independent petroleum coke, coal, and alternative fuels brokerage serving industrial buyers across the Americas, Europe, and Asia. 30 years of direct market experience — on your side of the table.
Knightly Resources LLC is operated by Alfonso Caballero, an independent solid fuels broker with over 30 years of direct operational and commercial experience in petroleum coke, coal, and alternative fuels.
Before founding Knightly Resources, Alfonso spent 27 years within the CEMEX ecosystem — managing a global fuels subsidiary with a $380M/year budget and 5.5 million tons/year of supply across multiple continents. He has worked in cement production, coal mining, petcoke grinding, and seaborne logistics — giving him a perspective few brokers possess.
Every engagement at Knightly Resources is handled directly by Alfonso. No junior staff, no delegation. When you work with us, you work with someone who has been inside the operations you're running, and who has spent decades building the supplier relationships he now puts to work for clients.
Talk to AlfonsoWe source, negotiate, and deliver. Our model is straightforward: find the right supply at the right price, from counterparties we trust — and tell you what we can and can't do before we start.
Origination and physical supply of fuel-grade and anode-grade petroleum coke from US Gulf Coast, Mexican, and international refineries to industrial end users.
Thermal and metallurgical coal sourced from established producers in the Americas and Asia, with full logistics coordination for seaborne and overland delivery.
Supply of alternative fuel products from Europe and other origins to industrial buyers in Central America and beyond — supporting cost reduction and sustainability goals.
Independent assessment of existing supply arrangements, identification of alternative sources, and portfolio optimization recommendations across cost, reliability, and diversification.
Timely, practical insight on petcoke and coal pricing trends, freight markets, refinery production cycles, and supply/demand dynamics across key regions.
Three decades of direct relationships with refineries, coal producers, and trading counterparties — no layers, no markups beyond our brokerage fee.
Active commercial coverage across four continents, with established supply origins and end-user relationships built over 30 years of direct market participation.
30 years working inside the industry — cement plants, coal mines, petcoke grinding, and multimodal logistics. We know how your plant uses fuel, not just how to sell it.
Every client works directly with Alfonso Caballero. No junior staff, no hand-offs. Senior experience on every transaction, every conversation.
Zero supply shortages during COVID-19 across a $380M/year portfolio. Supply reliability isn't a promise — it's a track record.
We tell you what we can and can't do before we start. If there's a fit, we'll both know quickly. If there isn't, we won't waste your time.
Relationships with refineries, coal mines, and trading counterparties built over three decades. Not a directory — a network of trusted counterparties we've transacted with firsthand.
We build relationships, not deal counts. Our goal is to be your reliable market contact for years, not to close a single trade and move on.
If you're an industrial buyer looking to pressure-test your current sourcing, explore alternatives, or simply have a reliable market contact — reach out directly. There's no pitch, no sales funnel. Just a conversation.
