The Frankfurt-based company has been making an important contribution to the security of supply of technology metals and rare earths for the processing industry for decades.
Frankfurt am Main, 27 May 2024 – TRADIUM is one of Europe’s most renowned international suppliers of critical raw materials. Since its founding on 27 May 1999, the Frankfurt-based company has specialized in procuring and trading technology metals, rare earths, and platinum group metals essential for technological innovation and modern life.
“TRADIUM is committed to providing a stable supply of raw materials for industry,” says Matthias Rüth, founder and Managing Director. “Especially in times of increased turbulence on the global markets, the security of supply of critical resources is becoming more of a focus.”
300 Tons of Critical Raw Materials as a Reserve for the Industry
TRADIUM moves an impressive 170 tons of critical raw materials every year. n addition, the company stocks over 300 tons of these materials in a warehouse in Frankfurt am Main. These inventories are vital to the manufacture of countless products. For example, technology metals such as indium and gallium are crucial in producing touchscreens, LED lighting, and photovoltaics. Rare earths are used in high-performance magnets for electric vehicle motors and wind turbines. These examples illustrate the variety and importance of the materials supplied by TRADIUM for modern industry and society.

In addition to its international trading activities, TRADIUM offers deep expertise in critical raw materials and supply chains. Over the years, in a market often challenged by geopolitical tensions, the company has successfully built a resilient partner network with raw material producers on all five continents. The company now occupies a durable market niche and stands out for its reliability, flexibility, and long-term corporate strategy.
