Germanium is a key element of modern life. The special optical and electronic properties of the technology metal make it indispensable for innovative applications. The production of germanium is concentrated in just a few countries. Due to the increasing demand, the secure supply of germanium is becoming more and more important in order to strengthen industrial innovation. Security of supply has also long since taken on geopolitical dimensions.
Areas of application
Germanium plays a central role in many high-tech applications: in infrared optics, it ensures precise imaging. In PET bottles, it improves transparency and stability. As a semiconductor, it is essential for fast electronics. In fiber optic technology, it enables high-performance, low-loss data transmission.
The Canadian group's magnet business also posted gains.
