Brian Menell was introduced to Franz Humer, friend and investing partner with Dale Wood, and struck up a conversation regarding metals required for the global technology revolution. This conversation intrigued Franz and led to a conversation over an Italian dinner in Zurich, Switzerland in February 2019. Within 24 hours it was decided that Franz and Dale would co-invest, via their own vehicles, into TechMet Limited following Brian’s dream. Brian’s track-record and the TechMet Team appear to be poised to provide some of the most sought after metals fueling the technologies of the future.
