TantalarIndustries
Rare metal. True north.
A Minnesota family of ventures building software and physical products for people who make things.
The name
Two ideas, fused.
Tantalar takes its name from two places at once. Tantalum is one of the rarest metals on the periodic table — resilient, corrosion-resistant, unbothered by stress. The name behind the element reaches back to Greek myth, to a figure of relentless ambition. And the word's ending looks upward, to the stars people have always navigated by.
That fusion — the durability of rare metal and the pull of the stars — is what Tantalar Industries is built on. We're a family of ventures spanning physical products and software, united by a builder's mindset: understand the problem down to its roots, build the thing properly, and stand behind it. Today our focus is software — platforms and tools that help makers, manufacturers, and small businesses run smarter.
Headquartered in Minnesota's Chisago Lakes area, where we do our best thinking with our sleeves rolled up.
Forged to last. Aimed at the stars.
