About Hallmark Rare Metals
Hallmark Rare Metals Co. Ltd. is a trading and manufacturing company registered in Hong Kong, specializing in rare non-ferrous metals such as titanium, molybdenum, tungsten, zirconium, niobium and tantalum. Core products are clad composite materials such as Ti/Cu and Zr/Cu busbars, wires and permanent stainless steel cathodes for electroplating, PCB and electrolysis industries. As the international sales channel of the Titan-Union production network founded in 2013 with 14 production sites and 16 warehouses in China, the company manages the entire value chain from raw material procurement to the fully machined component, including CNC, turning and punching parts in small to large series. The production of clad materials was established in 2007 as an ISO-certified network team and achieves an annual output of around 600 tonnes (2018). A German representative office in Sulzbach am Main with German sales engineers serves European customers; quality control, chemical analyses and 3.2 inspection certificates according to DIN EN 10204 are standard. Customers include companies such as Siemens and Airbus (licensed manufacturing).
