LME

The London Metal Exchange is the world centre for industrial metals trading, hosting more than 80% of all non-ferrous metal futures transactions globally. Trading since 1877 and a member of the HKEX Group, the LME serves a highly specialised audience: traders, brokers, producers and consumers of metal who rely on accurate, real-time pricing data to make decisions worth billions.

The LME engaged UNRVLD to rebuild its digital platform to match the demands of that audience and to replace a dated Sitecore solution with a stable, secure and data-led experience capable of delivering live market information at scale.

Working closely with the LME's digital and technical teams, UNRVLD rebuilt lme.com from the ground up on an upgraded Sitecore platform. A heuristic evaluation of the existing site informed a complete restructure of the architecture and navigation, with a new UI designed around the needs of a complex, professional user base.

The most technically demanding element was integrating the platform with Refinitiv to deliver a live stream of metals pricing data — 15-minute delayed intraday prices for all metals, alongside day-delayed official and closing prices.

To ensure the LME's team could maintain and develop the solution independently, the build prioritised ease of editorial control alongside technical rigour.

The rebuilt platform delivers live metals pricing data reliably to traders, brokers and industry participants worldwide. Complex integration with Refinitiv, resolved through a close collaborative working model with the LME's technical teams, now provides intraday pricing across all metals as standard.

LME's own editorial teams can maintain and develop the platform without agency dependency, and the technical foundation UNRVLD established has supported seventeen phases of ongoing development since launch.
