Material basis
ES Metall's purchase assessment distinguishes NdFeB from SmCo, ferrite, AlNiCo and bonded magnets.
A guide for sellers
Where can I sell neodymium magnets?
A technical purchase assessment considers more than kilograms: the material family, magnet shape, net magnet mass, origin, condition and supporting documents also matter. This information helps determine the appropriate way to sell the material to ES Metall.
Selection criteria
How to identify a suitable specialist magnet buyer
Look for a clear material boundary, transparent pricing factors and handover arrangements agreed in advance.
Clear system boundary
Keep the magnet weight separate from the total weight of an assembly.
Verifiable pricing
The material, form, unit, reference basis and pricing date should be clear or specifically requested.
Agreed shipping arrangements
Do not send strong magnets, powders, swarf or sludges without prior agreement.
Supporting evidence
Match photographs, the nameplate, batch, datasheet and analyses to the correct lot.
Direct contact
You can use phone, WhatsApp or email for the initial discussion about your material.
Purchase price following material assessment
No public purchase price is currently listed for neodymium magnets, broken magnets or production scrap. The specific price depends on factors including material type, quantity, degree of segregation, condition, attached materials and the documents available.

From photographs to agreed shipping arrangements
- 01
Separate the lot
Do not mix magnet shapes, assemblies and process residues.
- 02
Take photographs
Take overview and detail photographs, including the nameplate, packaging and a size reference.
- 03
Record the quantity
State the net magnet mass or number of items for each grade, rather than the equipment weight.
- 04
Match documents to the lot
Provide the datasheet, grade code, CoA or analysis for the relevant batch.
- 05
Confirm the arrangements
Agree the quotation, packaging, material information sheet and shipping arrangements in writing before dispatch.
