Back To General Information
  • Author: Tantalum-Niobium International Study Center (T.I.C.)
  • The T.I.C. was established in response to concerns within the tantalum industry regarding the lack of useful information on tantalum source materials. The initial purpose of the T.I.C. was to spread information about tantalum and to promote the common interest and welfare of the producers, especially with public and private authorities, organisations and agencies. Since its foundation, the T.I.C. has grown to encompass niobium and all stages of the tantalum/niobium supply chains.

Advancing sustainability, technology, and industry collaboration since 1974.
