Our Capabilities

From custom powder production to advanced material analysis, our capabilities combine technical precision with scientific insight. We’re here to support your innovation at every stage of development.

Hardmetal and Cermet Powder Production

We specialise in the manufacture of agglomerated and sintered hardmetal and cermet powders, using spray drying technology. This low-temperature process preserves the chemical structure of sensitive materials and enables precise control over particle size.

Here’s how our spray drying system works:

  1. Feed slurry is atomised into fine droplets using inert gas or compressed air.
  2. Droplets rapidly dry in a controlled chamber.
  3. Larger particles collect at the base, while fine powder is captured in a cyclone separator.


The result: free-flowing, spherical powders ideal for additive manufacturing, thermal spraying and metal injection moulding applications.

We typically produce powders in the 15–105 µm range, which meets the needs of thermal spraying, additive manufacturing and powder metallurgy industries.

Our Commitment to Quality

Every detail matters. That’s why we maintain strict control over our processes and deliver consistently high-quality powders and testing services.

  • We follow ISO 9001 documentary standards to ensure full traceability and process control.
  • We operate in full compliance with REACH regulations for uninterrupted supply within the UK and EU.
  • We invest in quality control equipment and expert-led analysis to validate every batch we supply and support decision-making in materials development and production.

Custom Manufacturing & Sintering

Our custom powder services help you go beyond standard formulations. Whether you’re developing new alloys or refining material behaviour, we can:

  • Formulate bespoke powder compositions.
  • Agglomerate fine materials into free-flowing spherical particles.
  • Sinter powders to improve particle cohesion and strengthening the agglomerates.
  • Classify and tailor particle size to suit your application.

Research & Collaboration

Whether you need technical advice or a full R&D partner, our team is here to support you. We provide:

  • Access to PhD-level expertise across powder metallurgy, materials science and manufacturing.
  • Support with specification development and process control.
  • Collaborative R&D and co-development projects.
  • Outsourced research solutions with full confidentiality.

Analytical Services

Need to test your powder without investing in lab equipment? Our in-house analysis team provides contract testing for:

  • Particle size distribution (sieve, image or laser diffraction).
  • Flowability and apparent density.
  • SEM-EDS for surface imaging and elemental composition.
  • Optical microscopy and powder morphology.
  • Contamination or defect identification.


We offer analytical support at all stages of product development, from raw material checks to final quality control.

These combined tools offer a complete visual and chemical characterisation in one process.
