Powdermet is a nationally recognized advanced materials research and development organization. This 20+ person firm was founded by Andrew Sherman, who started Powdermet as a spin-out of Ultramet, Inc., in 1996. Powdermet develops, matures, and transitions breakthrough materials innovations that enable reduced weight, resource consumption, environmental footprint and life-cycle costs, while increasing energy-efficiency based on value-creation gained through engineered micron-scale features and hierarchically structures of metal and/or ceramic phases in a structure. Powdermet has an extensive proprietary technology base and application data in materials compositions, structures, and manufacturing processes incorporating submicron features into engineering materials through powder metallurgy and ceramic processing techniques. Powdermet was founded on the principle of “Bringing the Benefits of Advanced Materials to the World” and focuses on commercial development of advanced composite powders for the engineered materials user community. Our mission is to change the way that advanced materials are designed and manufactured, worldwide.
