Germanium

Germanium is a strategic semiconductor metal of central importance for infrared technology, fiber optic communication and photovoltaics. It is highly processable, light-conducting and indispensable for optoelectronic precision.

We supply what guides light and makes signals possible

Germanium is at the heart of modern information and sensor technology:

In optical fibers it enables ultra-fast data transmission, in infrared systems it delivers razor-sharp images, and in photovoltaics it ensures maximum efficiency.

Europe depends on a stable, traceable supply of germanium - we can provide it.

Technologically sensitive, strategically secured.
