Beryllium

Beryllium is a high-performance metal with a unique property profile. It is extremely light, hard, dimensionally stable and thermally conductive - making it indispensable for aerospace, defense, electronics and research.

We deliver what is precise, lightweight and extremely resilient

Beryllium is used wherever maximum performance with minimum weight is required.

In aerospace, in the X-ray sector, in high-frequency components or in precision mirrors - beryllium is a special material for extreme requirements.

Its combination of rigidity, conductivity and thermal stability makes it a strategic raw material with high protection requirements.

We secure access - responsibly, reliably, quality-tested.

Beryllium in figures - 2024

01

Beryllium is mainly extracted in the USA, China and Madagascar - mostly as the beryllium mineral beryl (Be₃Al₂Si₆O₁₈) or as a concentrate.

02

Applications can be found in aerospace technology, electronics, nuclear technology, medical technology and scientific research.

03

Demand is concentrated on a few highly regulated markets - with limited global supply at the same time.

04

The German Commodities Group cooperates with specialized suppliers in compliance with international safety and export standards.

Extremely light. Extremely specialized.

We supply beryllium in the form of metal, oxide, alloy or semi-finished product, depending on the intended use and technical specifications.

Our customers are suppliers to the aviation industry, electronics manufacturers, X-ray technology providers and research institutes.

We deliver specifically - where maximum precision is required.
