People are key ... on both sides

Executive Committee

Each investment-project is headed by one of the Executive Partners. Several years of close joint working have formed an agile Executive Committee with good comprehension of each other's strengths and weaknesses.

Though Germans, each one has lived more than 20 years abroad. In-depth local inmersion in as diverse environments as Russia, Africa and Latin America have been key to success in the past.

Associates

Our around 25 associates in five locations are our most valuable ressouce. Decades of operational experience working in the Metal sector have formed a sustainable knowledge- and experience-base. Upon need a team is formed that will match the requirements of the specific project best.

Subcontractors

The EURmetal team focusses on understanding the "big picture" of an investment situation. It covers a broad spectrum of the metal investment value chain. Though, as stated elsewhere, we do not consider ourselves to be the specialist in all spheres. In such cases we bring trusted third parties on board in coordination with our Clients.
