What We Do

Powder Metal Technologies helps product designers and OEMs integrate powder metallurgy into their components, delivering cost-effective solutions with enhanced performance benefits.

PMT isn’t a manufacturer, is the bridge between PM manufacturers and high-growing industries.

OUR FOUNDER

Derek Rasmussen

With over 30 years of experience across diverse areas of the powder metallurgy industry, from operations to technical sales and applications, our founder, Derek Rasmussen, brings in-depth knowledge and experience directly to you.  Mr. Rasmussen’s expertise lies in powder metallurgy processes used to fabricate metal components from metal powders.  Formally educated in powder metallurgy, he started his career as a hands-on technologist (press and sinter tool design, process engineering).

His expertise cuts across the competing technologies of Press and Sinter (PM), Metal Injection Molding (MIM), Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) and Magnets.  He is familiar with the material options and strengths, weaknesses of each process; Evaluating components for “best fit” in three areas 1. Price 2. Design for Manufacture (DFM) and 3. Material.

Mr. Rasmussen has hand chosen four highly qualified suppliers to represent.  These suppliers possess the engineering depth and quality consciousness required for quality critical applications.

Connecting the Dots in Powder Metallurgy

We understand you may be new to powder metallurgy. At PMT, we’re passionate about staying ahead of the curve and bringing the latest technological advancements to you. We’ll guide you through the entire process, from initial part concept to final production.

PMT’s Key Differentiators

Relationship-driven

We prioritize building strong relationships with both clients and leading PM manufacturers.

Always Learning

We stay up-to-date on the latest PM advancements to ensure you have access to the most innovative options.

The Power of Powder Metallurgy: Unmatched Solutions for Custom Components

At PMT, we specialize in four powder metallurgy processes used to fabricate components, engineered materials and bonding / joining.  Each technology uses metal in powder form as the base material.   The four technologies (listed below) work in tandem, complimenting each other.  The idea is to sift through the options quickly, identify engineering, commercial solutions, problem solving & saving money potential (if any, moving fast, let’s not waste time).

Why We Work with These 4 Technologies: These technologies complement each other, allowing us to offer a broader range of solutions and address economies of scale. Think of us as your guide in a powder metallurgy supermarket, helping you find the best “ingredients” for your “recipes”.
