The Seam is a privately held company founded by leading global agribusiness companies in December 2000 as the world's first completely online and neutral exchanges for cotton trading. With the continued support of our investors, including Cargill, Louis Dreyfus, and PCCA, we have expanded to other commodities such as grains and peanuts. More recently, the company responded to market demands by developing advanced online trading tools for products that expand beyond agricultural commodities. Our online trading systems create an interactive marketplace where sellers have more buyers looking at their commodities and buyers have the most choices.

The Seam's solutions provide connectivity to a global network of market participants. No other market center brings access to trading like The Seam. Our patented system that serves as the foundation for the Seam's web based exchanges has provided real- time trading power to buyers and sellers for more than 30 years. No other marketplace in the world provides the level of experience and security as The Seam.

The Seam's mission is to help our customers discover and trade at true market prices using technologies that benefit the entire agribusiness, food industry, and procurement professionals. Our value proposition is that we will lower the costs of doing business for buyers and sellers while offering opportunities to generate revenue.

Whether it's trading physical inventories of cotton, peanuts, grains, dairy, other commodities or procuring processed food products for the United States Department of Agriculture, The Seam affords its users with an easy-to-use platform and unparalleled tools that give you the power to trade more, in less time.

Most importantly, our technology maximizes your opportunities to get the combination of price and quantity you want. The key is the liquidity that is uniquely provided by a technology-connected market. The reach and depth of The Seam's electronic trading systems enables users to obtain important price discovery information and get superior marketing results.
