What We Do

High-Quality Ferrotungsten Production Using Cutting Edge Infrastructure

TME receives orders for high-quality Ferrotungsten from Manufacturers across industries such as defence, mining and construction, energy, transport and infrastructure. We buy Tungsten concentrate from mining companies, recycled sources and commodity traders, then produce FeW in our latest generation, state-of-the-art Ferrotungsten processing facility located in Vinh Bao to the South East of Hanoi, Vietnam.

Possessing the Largest FeW furnace outside China our production capacity is greater than the rest of world combined (ex-China/Russia).

We are the only scale option that enables western companies to keep their Tungsten concentrate sale and FeW purchases outside of the Chinese/ Russian system.

Our simple business model is processing only - we have no mining risk and have minimal exposure to commodity prices.

In 2023 we were the recipient of $1.2m Critical Minerals grant in Australian Federal budget.
