ABOUT US
Terra Tec began with a simple observation
Industrial buyers needed a direct, transparent route to rare-earth oxides — without the opacity, inconsistency and volatility of traditional broker chains. Our focus from the start has been working directly with producers, checking them properly, and giving buyers documentation they can actually rely on.
We do not mine, refine or hold stock. We are a sourcing intermediary, and we say so plainly rather than implying otherwise.
PRINCIPAL-LED
You deal with the person who signs off the shipment
Terra Tec is principal-led. The person who vets the producer, manages the logistics and signs off the documentation is the person you speak to. There are no layers, no account managers and no handoffs. In a market built on trust and traceability, you should know exactly who stands behind the material you receive.

Transparency
We tell you where material comes from, including when the answer is inconvenient.
Traceability
Every shipment links back to a named producer and a production lot.
Rigour
Four qualification gates. A producer who dodges any of them does not advance.
Directness
If something cannot be done, or a licence position is uncertain, you are told.

FOUNDER & DIRECTOR
Terra Tec is a one-person business by design, and I’m the person. I find the producers, check them, negotiate the terms and sign off the documentation. There’s no account manager between you and the work.
I came to this from the operations side rather than from trading. I work in commercial sales in Western Australia’s resources services sector — in yards and on sites, with the people who actually run fleets and plant. That’s where I learned what a reliable supplier looks like, and what an unreliable one looks like about three weeks too late.
Terra Tec exists because the same gap sits in rare-earth supply, and it’s a documentation problem more than a pricing one.
