Industrial metals direct from the supplier

An understanding of global supply chains is almost essential for modern portfolio diversification. Our standard of living as well as social developments depend crucially on a secure supply of raw materials. Technology metals, rare earths and platinum group metals are essential building blocks for climate-friendly, high-performance mobility concepts, internet and communication technologies, high-tech applications and energy generation.


As a TRADIUM GmbH customer, you become an important link in international supply chains. You own raw materials that TRADIUM has purchased from producers worldwide. The coveted metals can then be sold on to the processing industry.

Strategic importance - critical availability

The majority of industrial metals in our range of physical assets are categorised as strategic and critical by the EU. They are important strategic transformations in the green energy, digitalisation, defence and space sectors. However, supply bottlenecks are feared due to geological, economic or political circumstances - the supply situation is therefore regarded as Critical.

While demand and interest from industry, business and politics are constantly increasing, the availability of these raw materials is limited. This makes them exciting physical assets and an intelligent addition to your portfolio.

The actual value of the tangible asset is only known at the time of sale, when it is clear what the current market situation is.
