Because the work we do should create opportunities that improve lives long after it's complete
Every community has different needs, but the essentials are often the same. That's why we focus on projects that improve access to quality food, clean water, reliable energy, infrastructure, and connectivity.
These are the projects we believe have the greatest potential to improve lives and create opportunities for generations to come. By helping bring them to life, we're investing in a stronger future for the people and places they serve.
Our mission
To improve people’s lives in everything we do through our various products and services in financing, commodities, and construction.
We measure our success in the number of people, families, and communities we help while growing our own employees to become better world citizens.
Our history
PB Trade started over 30 years ago by helping businesses connect across borders, initially under the PB Marketing Company brand, then PB Trade and Marketing Company, LLC. We organized trade missions that brought buyers and sellers together and built strong relationships with manufacturers and growers across Africa, Asia, Europe, South America, and the U.S.
As we engaged in more transactions, a recurring challenge became clear, many of our clients had promising opportunities but lacked access to the funding needed to bring them to life. We set out to change that. By building a global network of leading banks, hedge funds, insurance providers, and private investors, we began unlocking capital for trade, infrastructure, and development projects around the world.
We opened our first international office in Ghana, which quickly became a hub for trade across West Africa. From there, we began supporting not just import-export activity, but also large-scale energy, infrastructure, and humanitarian projects, offering full-service, fully funded solutions to both governments and companies.
That early work laid the foundation for who we are today. PB Trade has grown into an international advisory and project services firm, helping clients fund and deliver high-impact projects around the world. We also launched PBK Developments Ltd. in Northern Ireland, UK, our own engineering, procurement, construction, project management company, working closely with Kilmurn PPS Ltd. and other tier 1 construction partners.
Through every chapter of our growth, one thing has remained constant: the desire to make a real difference. From clean water and reliable energy to stronger infrastructure and access to opportunity, we’re committed to supporting projects that improve lives, strengthen communities, and increase self-sufficiency.
We’re proud of where we’ve been, and excited to keep moving forward with purpose and partners we believe in.
A big part of what shapes us
Our Founder and CEO, Pegi S. Bautista Bernez, has been given the traditional titles of Zosimli-Naa and Gumo Malgu-Naa in the Dagbon Kingdom of the Northern Region of Ghana. These honors recognize a longstanding commitment to building relationships, strengthening communities, and creating opportunities through collaboration and service.
For Pegi, these titles represent a responsibility as much as an honor.
The relationships built through that responsibility continue to shape PB Trade and our group of companies. They influence many of the partnerships, projects, and humanitarian initiatives we support, reinforcing our commitment to work alongside communities, listen first, and create opportunities that leave a lasting, generational impact.
