Matthias Rüth

Matthias Rüth is the founder and managing director of Tradium, a prominent trading house based in Frankfurt, Germany. He has been vocal about the challenges faced by the industry regarding the supply of critical raw materials, particularly in light of recent bureaucratic changes by the German Ministry of Finance that have sparked criticism from various companies. Rüth is concerned that these changes could undermine efforts to secure the availability of essential resources needed for military and technological applications, ultimately impacting the European market's independence from external sources.
