China serves 50% of the global Titanium production, as well as the ‘side products’ like Zirconium, Tantalum, Niobium, Molybdenum, Tungsten (Wolfram) etc. 

Chinas Titanium Valley (located close to Xi'an and its fabulous Terracotta Army) hosts more than 1000(!) companies, working in this segment and offering all kinds of products for all industry segments that you can think of.

Saying that, the global market for rare metals is highly fragmented. The huge variety of delivery forms, sizes and shapes combined with the different materials, their alloys and final treatments ends up in a unlimited variety of products.

Customer requests for rare metals are often project based and each project got a need for special dimensions and alloys. The needed quantities sometimes do not meet the minimum amount for a production lot. 

One dedicated producer can support only a specific range of products and dimension, based on his available machine park, equipment and capacity. These facts bring customers as well as the producers into a challenging situation.

Customers desperately searching for a matching manufacturer for the required materials. 

Producers are forced to outsource various production steps.

Dealers entering the ballpark, offering materials from unknown origins.

Language barriers and different business mentalities adding an additional challenge.

Inquiries cycling multiple times over the globe.

Nana Tang, founder and owner of Hallmark rare metals, working in rare metal sales since 2010, established the Titan-Union in 2013. A powerful coalition of Companies in China, producing a wide range of products from non-Fe metals. Hallmark is their authorized sales channel for outside China and all members are audited, contracted and rated by their strength and capabilities. This Network gives Hallmark the power and flexibility to source the needed materials and delivery forms.

To provide the best possible local support to our customers, Hallmark installed its German representative office in 2013, located 30 min from Frankfurt Airport. With our team of German sales engineers and back-office support we provide the optimum value chain, services and prices to our customer base.

Driven by these advantages in late 2013 a former Chinese government company started using Hallmark as their representative, to improve the local customer service, communication and sales activities in Germany. This business model has been successfully expanded and is adding a wide angle of professional knowledge, capabilities and value for our whole customer base.

With Hallmarks roots in the Titanium Valley and its permanent sales representative in Germany, we provide you the direct access to Chinas Non-Ferrous and rare metal market.

With our huge Network, we control and manage the complete value chain, from ore sourcing up to your half or full finished products.

On August 29th 2024, the head of the Baoji administration Mr. Duan and Baoji Major, Ms. Fan, entitled Hallmarks CEO Nana Tang and Alex Kessler as official European “Business attraction representative” in the name of Baoji City. 

Beside the established business this adds another level of cooperations that can even include the support for investments, outsourcing, funding or other cooperations in all industry segments.
