Research and Development

We focus our attention to the details of every phase of product development, from testing to end-use, to ensure you receive a dependable, high quality product.

In-house Functional Testing = Fast and Practical Solutions to your problems

We test our products in-house to achieve better quality control and faster development time. It also helps us understand how our materials impact the performance of your product. We manufacture test gaskets and test their conductivity, mechanical properties and shielding effectiveness in order to evaluate new electronic materials and optimize the performance of existing ones.

We help our customers build better products:

Sulzer Metco Canada works in conjunction with its customers to manage and cultivate new opportunities through the development of new powders using a variety of cores, coatings and particle size ranges.
