Manganese

Manganese is a key transition metal for steel production and electromobility. It gives materials strength, durability and energy efficiency - and is playing an increasingly strategic role as a raw material for batteries.

We supply what stabilizes, reinforces and electrifies

Manganese is indispensable for high-strength steels, corrosion-resistant alloys and modern battery materials.

It improves the structure, increases the service life - and enables cost-efficient cell chemistries in electromobility, for example in LMFP or NMC batteries.

We supply the industry with manganese-containing raw materials in a coordinated form - from metallurgical ore manganese to chemically refined battery grades.

Scalable, secure, industry-oriented.

Manganese in figures - 2024

01

The steel and metal industry accounts for over 90 % of global manganese consumption - especially for structural steel, stainless steel and special alloys.

02

The top producing countries are South Africa, Australia, Gabon, Brazil and Ghana, which together account for the majority of global supply.

03

Battery demand for high-purity manganese (HPMSM) is growing strongly - particularly in Europe, China and North America.

04

The German Commodities Group offers access to producers and refiners on three continents - from ore to battery components.

Raw material for starch and electricity

We supply manganese as an ore concentrate, metal, oxide or sulphate, depending on the application - whether for metallurgy, cell chemistry or the chemical industry.

Our customers are steelworks, alloy manufacturers, battery producers and chemical companies.

We supply what strengthens materials - and drives batteries.
