Powder Light Metals
About us
Powder Light Metals GmbH (PLM) is a privately owned, independent and shareholder headed company. PLM has been founded in June 2000.
PLM has dedicated its activities exclusively to development, production and marketing of semi-finished products and/or components based on nano-structured lightweight alloys manufactured via powder metallurgy techniques. In addition to that PLM also optimizes the appropriate processing and manufacturing technologies. The scope of alloys covers Al-based materials including the corresponding metal matrix composites (MMC’s) as well as lightweight intermetallics.
Based on our alloy related and technical solutions in combination with our know-how we are in a leading position worldwide when competing with other market players. Many publications and patents as well as the VDI Materials and Innovation Award of the German Engineering Society in the year 1999 to the company founder Klaus Hummert show the competence of the management team in the powder metallurgy business of high performance aluminum.
Our alloys and products offer a high customer benefit by unique properties and a customer oriented price-performance relation.
