Capabilities and Facilities

Sulzer Metco Canada's origins can be traced back to the early 1960's, when it began producing and selling screened nickel powders. Proven nickel refining technologies were adapted to the production of nickel coated composite powders. Through the 70's 80's and 90's, various composite powders were added to the product line, including nickel coated aluminum, nickel coated graphite and alloy composites.

In the 1990's, in response to increasing demand for specialized composite materials, Sulzer Metco Canada initiated a multi-year program to modernize the facility and expand our operations. Today, our facilities include 78,000 ft² of production and warehousing areas, 12,000 ft² of staff offices and 22,000 ft² of dedicated laboratory space.

Sulzer Metco Canada currently utilizes a combination of hydrometallurgical, pyrometallurgical, electrochemical and physical processes to precisely tailor the properties of our products to meet our customers' stringent requirements. Our plant is equipped with three fully automated high pressure autoclaves, various furnaces and dryers, blenders, attrition and classification equipment. A team of highly skilled operators monitor the plant performance on a 24-7 basis. Our plant equipment with its modern distributed control system (DCS) is maintained in peak condition by our own highly skilled team of trades people.
