Complimentary technological capabilities allow customers to achieve higher
quality, greener, more sustainable part production with no compromise in
quality.
Fremont, CA & Sherbrooke, QC, June 22, 2022: Uniformity Labs, producer of
engineered materials for advanced manufacturing, and Tekna (OSE: TEKNA), the
world-leading provider of advanced materials to industry, signed an agreement
where Tekna will supply Ti64 5/25 and Ti64 45/105 to Uniformity to produce its
highly advanced titanium powders. This agreement will make available a critical
North American supply source for Uniformity and increase Tekna's output capacity
and efficiency.
Greener, more sustainable materials
The collaboration enables Tekna to optimize the use of its production yield
which Uniformity will process to produce its advanced titanium powder for LPBF.
Uniformity's technology helps customers realize substantial quality and
efficiency improvements in additive and conventional manufacturing at scale.
Their engineered powders and processes enable faster production of repeatable
parts at higher density with no compromise in quality. Tekna powder atomization
technology uses hydro-energy, and all process gasses are recycled in closed
loops, achieving greener production. Together the companies will help industrial
customers produce greener, more sustainable parts.
Furthermore, this supply agreement leverages both companies' complementary offer
to the industry and clears the way to a growing collaboration between the two
leaders.
"We're excited to collaborate with Tekna for the supply of highest quality
titanium powders for LPBF", said Adam Hopkins, founder, and CEO of Uniformity
Labs. "This agreement opens a critical North American material resource for us.
The complementary nature of our businesses produces an economic benefit for our
customers who gain through higher printer throughput and repeatability, and a
supply chain security benefit from the use of materials produced entirely in
North America."
"We are extremely proud that Uniformity Labs has selected us to supply titanium
powders," said Luc Dionne, CEO of Tekna. "This is a testament to Tekna's supply
reliability and reaffirms that our product quality matches with a wide range of
industry requirements."
