In the shadowy world of rare earth metals, Exotech isn't just recycling scrap—they're engineering the invisible supply chain that powers everything from fighter jets to satellites. With a lean 48-person team generating $9.4M in revenue, they've built a fortress in a market most investors overlook.

"In a world obsessed with scale, Exotech proves that deep expertise in a narrow vertical beats broad, shallow coverage every time."

The company's tech stack (jQuery, Tailwind CSS, Bootstrap) suggests pragmatic, functional web presence rather than flashy digital experience. They're not spending on vanity metrics—every dollar goes into technical capability and operational excellence. The Cloudflare/AWS infrastructure shows they understand security and scale, even if their public-facing metrics look modest.

• Niche dominance: Focused on rare/precious metals where competition is limited
• Technical moat: Chemistry expertise creates high barriers to entry
• Efficient operations: $195K revenue per employee suggests strong margins
• Direct relationship model: 38% direct traffic indicates established B2B relationships
