Living Metals

Our powder metallurgy products power cars and machines, light houses, transmit energy and make tools perform. What’s more, they are becoming increasingly important in high-tech industries such as electronics, power engineering and healthcare.

“Living Metals” forms an important part of the Plansee Group’s corporate culture. Throughout our 90-year history, developing new powder metallurgy technologies and applications has been more than just our business – it’s been our passion.

“Living Metals”, the Plansee Group’s magazine, regularly keeps readers up-to-date with how the Group is progressing.
