A Few Words
About us
A message from our CEO
Our offer to private investors is an invitation to participate in the supply chain industry, specifically owning the raw materials that are critical to all nations’ economic prosperity and increasing military capabilities.
When you own strategic metals, you own the downstream raw materials that ultimately become trillions of dollars in upstream GDP.
The most important fact that potential buyers should know is that when you purchase from us you are buying directly from a bona-fide industry supplier with 25 years in the industry.
That is precisely what allows us to safely offer industrial-grade high-value raw materials to private investors.
Strategic metals is an interesting asset class to own, as they have an intrinsic value, demand is ever-increasing, and supply can be limited and subject to disruption.
We provide safe access to an industry that private investors would not ordinarily have access to.
Please feel free to email me directly at or call +353 87 7146751.

CEO Strategic Metals Invest
Strategic Metals Invest is a sales and marketing partner of TRADIUM Gmbh.
TRADIUM Gmbh, Frankfurt, Germany, was founded in 1999 with the aim to become a key intermediary between the high-tech industries and the producers of the critical raw materials for these industries. To guarantee the resolute quality of their services, TRADIUM introduced in 2003 a DIN EN ISO 9001 certified quality management system.
Today, they are one of the most reputable dealers for technology metals and rare earth elements in the world.

Since 2010 they also offered private customers the option to purchase these essential raw materials, and they are the only industry supplier to do so.
TRADIUM Gmbh are the exclusive representatives for numerous major international raw material producers and many of their employees have over 25 years’ experience in this market. Their reputation and in-depth knowledge about the product range, packaging, and quality also enhances the liquidity of the investments.
Their sister company METLOCK GmbH offers bank-level security standard storage of technology metals, rare earth elements, and other valuable commodities.
The Economist visited the METLOCK vault in Frankfurt in July 2025, describing it as:
“A refurbished bunker from the Second World War at a confidential location in Frankfurt gives a sense of how precious rare earths have become—and how vulnerable the West remains to shortages. The bunker holds 300 tonnes of minerals amid brutalist-chic security. The walls are two metres thick; the door weighs 4.6 tonnes. For some rare-earth elements, the bunker holds 10% of the world’s annual output. In one corner an Asian manufacturer maintains a stash worth nearly $10m. Another firm, from Europe, stores enough here to cover two years’ worth of use.”
Together, they therefore offer a convenient and complete solution for the purchase, storage, and resale of your strategic metals as a future and inflation proof investment.
