Magnesium

Magnesium is the light metal of the industry. It reduces weight, improves alloys and is indispensable for modern mobility, electronics and metal processing. It is becoming increasingly important as an element and as a strategic raw material.

We deliver what makes you lighter, stronger and more efficient

Magnesium convinces where every gram counts:

Whether in lightweight vehicles, aerospace components or aluminum alloys - magnesium saves mass and increases performance.

It is also essential as a reducing agent in metallurgy or as an electrolyte component in batteries.

We supply Europe's industry with high-purity magnesium and customized primary products.

Reliable, scalable, quality-assured.
