About Almonty:

Almonty specializes in acquiring distressed and underperforming operations and assets in tungsten markets. These then benefit from the company’s in-house operational experience and unrivalled expertise in the tungsten market. Highly regarded as a hands-on, turnaround investor-operator, Almonty is an expert at overseeing projects regarded as too complex or difficult for the average, pure “financial investor”. To date, the results of its acquisitions have been fast and very profitable turnarounds. Almonty is actively pursuing other growth opportunities via acquisitions where it can apply its tungsten expertise to create additional value for all stakeholders.
